When did he born in India?. At present is he having Bangladeshi citizenship?. Reply to these questions.

1. Your friend was a natural citizen of India as he was born in India. Natural citizenship which accrues to a person on his birth is subject to the following riders (a) If the individual was born on or after 1st July 1987 then either of his parents must be a citizen of India. (b) If the individual was born on or after 3rd December 2004 then either both his parents must be Indian citizens, or if only of them is an Indian citizen the parent who is not a citizen of India must not be an illegal migrant.

2. Your query is silent as to whether your friend acquired the citizenship of Bangladesh or not. It is also lacking in details as to whether your friend intermittently visited India. The date on which he, if at all, acquired the citizenship of Bangladesh, is germane to decide whether your friend is still regarded as a citizen of India. The duration, if any, for which your friend last remained in India will also have a direct bearing on his citizenship status. Hence, furnish these details.
