Norway custody row: Indian government embarrassed...

The Indian government will today talk to the parents of two young children whose custody has turned into a diplomatic stress-point between Norway and India. The Indian ambassador in Oslo will ask Sagarika and Anurup Bhattacharya whether they want their children to return to India, as they have demanded for months.

For months, the Indian government has thrown its weight behind the Bhattacharyas, whose children were placed in foster care in Norway against their wishes. But Anurup has now said that he wants Abhigyan (3) and Aishwarya (1) to stay in Norway. He told news service IANS he is separating from his wife who he alleges is violent and attacks him often. He also reportedly told other newspapers that he has concealed this information because he did not want to damage his case to bring his children back to India. Anurup told NDTV he has been misquoted. If Sagarika and Anurup say that they are now involved in a domestic dispute, the Indian government will step out of the picture and treat their children's custody case as a family matter.

The new developments have embarrassed the Indian government which had been pressuring Norway to send the children back with their parents. "Government has tried its best to bring the children home so that they have a future in the country. But a new situation has developed.... we cannot interfere. Full story...
