Bangalore : The wife of the French diplomat, who has been accused of raping his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, has sought monetary support to raise her children in case her husband is imprisoned.
"The wife has sought monetary support to raise her children in case her husband is arrested, imprisoned or deported," Chairperson of Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Nina Nayak told PTI.
Nina Nayak has claimed that the accused, working with the French Consulate in Bangalore, was not allowing his wife to withdraw funds deposited in a joint account and the money was being sent to France.
