Norway custody row: Case study of the confiscation of children by Norwegian authorities

Norway, which found their mother unfit, had said the children must live with their uncle.

Close on the heels of the Norway child custody row, a similar case has come to light in Sweden where an NRI woman has claimed that her son is being held in foster care on charges of neglect and sought the help from Indian authorities.

The Norway nightmare, which lasted almost 12 months, has finally ended for the Indian family with toddlers Abhigyan and Aishwarya returning home today morning.

Dr Manmohan Singh has told the prime minister of Norway that he hopes there will be "a positive outcome" for the Indian parents fighting to bring their children back home from there.

Sources say that the Indian government has finalized the terms of the children's care when they are sent back here. As discussed earlier, one-year-old Aishwarya and three-year-old Abhigyan will be placed in th...

In a huge setback to the Indian couple fighting for the custody of their children in Norway, the Child Welfare Services (CWS) has categorically said the children cannot go back to family now and the case will be dropped.

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. If Sagarika and Anurup say that th...

In a bizarre turn of events in the custody case of Indian children in Norway, Indian government sources said the father of the children had told the authorities in Norway that he wanted his children to stay on in the country. The father, Anurup Bhattacharya, however has denied the reports.
