On the run for 2 years, NRI woman in police net

New Delhi: An NRI woman who fled from the US to India with her minor son and eluded police from three states for two years was traced in Chennai by CBI in about a week's time from getting the case on Supreme Court's directive.

The CBI team found the mother and child when they were shifting hotels in Chennai yesterday and brought them to Delhi by flight, official sources said here.

The duo was produced at the residence of Justice Tarun Chatterjee of Supreme Court, who directed the agency to keep them for two days and produce them before the court in the first half on Tuesday.

The apex court had directed the CBI on August 29 to investigate the matter and submit a report after the state police of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh could not trace the mother Vijayashree Voora, who is said to be mentally unstable, and on the run with her child Aditya Chandran.

The bench of Justices Tarun Chatterjee and R M Lodha had said CBI officials should be given all powers to trace the child and if necessary, issue a non-bailable warrant against the mother who was divorced from her husband V Ravichandran.
