'Trace Them': Supreme Court Orders Hunt For Russian Woman, Child

In a rather unusual child custody case, the Supreme Court has directed the External Affairs and Home ministries to issue look-out notices for a Russian woman - Victoria Basu - who has allegedly absconded with a five-year-old son from her marriage to an Indian man, Saikat Basu.

A bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi also directed the Delhi Police to 'trace the missing child without any loss of time' and hand custody to the father, who claimed Ms Basu and his son - who was with his mother per a custody deal - have been 'missing' since July 7.
