Indian Ambassador seeks meeting with Norway Foreign Ministry official

Indian Ambassador to Norway has sought a meeting with the head of the Consular Section in the Norwegian Foreign Ministry after the Indian woman, whose son has been taken away by the Child Welfare Services there, sought government’s intervention.

“Indian Ambassador to Norway Debraj Pradhan has sought a meeting with the head of the Consular Section in the Norwegian Foreign Ministry,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, adding after the meeting the government will decide how to pursue the case.

Gurvinderjit Kaur and her husband, who is a Norwegian national, have alleged that authorities in that country have taken away their 5-year-old son Aryan, also a Norwegian national, on a frivolous complaint of abuse.
