Jailed, deported and in love: How a Japanese man's Bengaluru saga took an unexpected turn
Tanaka, then a 36-year-old psychology graduate, had come to Bengaluru to learn English and enrolled at a private English academy. He became unhappy after classes were allegedly cancelled frequently and held irregularly.
A Japanese man named Hirotoshi Tanaka arrived in Bengaluru in 2019 with the intention of learning English. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he became entangled in a dispute at an English academy. The dispute led to his arrest and imprisonment for 19 days, which the Karnataka State Human Rights Commission later found to be unnecessary. Tanaka was eventually deported back to Japan, but his saga took another unexpected turn when he fell in love and married an Indian woman.
