What Is The Incident?
An Indian man, Saikat Basu, has filed a complaint against a Russian woman, Victoria Basu, for fleeing with their 4-year-old child, and the Supreme Court has given some strict orders on the matter. The SC bashed the Delhi police for not acting swiftly on the case, which led the woman to flee the country, as per an NDTV report. The SC has also reached out to the centre and the Indian Embassy in Moscow. It has directed “harshest actions” as the child was snatched away by the Russian woman, and the custody was not yet given to either of the parties, and the case was still under jurisdiction.
The bench was headed by Justice Surya Kant, and the SC has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs to reach out to interpol for further help. As per the court, the Russian woman has allegedly done forgery of documents as the child’s passport was with the SC, as per reports. The court also raised questions to the embassy about the issue of new passports.
