Norway Custody

Rani Mukerji's Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, a film based on an Indian couple who fought the Norway government for the custody of their children, has drawn a sharp response from the country.

A 37-year-old Danish man was being questioned by Norwegian police in custody Thursday, the chief suspect wanted for killing five people by bow-and-arrow in the country's deadliest attack in a decade.

Till this week, the children had been living with their father's younger brother in West Bengal, as directed by a Norwegian court.

The Calcutta High Court today ruled that the two siblings brought from Norway after a raging custody battle last year could stay with their mother tonight. The final order would be passed tomorrow.

In a new twist, the custody of two siblings - brought from Norway after a legal and diplomatic fight last year - passed on to their uncle, hours after the Burdwan policemen handed them over to their mother.

Eight months after her children returned to India after a lengthy legal battle in Norway, Sagarika Bhattacharya will be able to take them home. The 30-year-old had been granted custody of her son Abhigyan and her daughter Aishwarya by the Calcutta High Court.

A Norway court has convicted an Indian couple for alleged child abuse. The police have accused the couple, who is from Andhra Pradesh, of "gross or repeated maltreatment of their children by threats, violence".

The ongoing case in Norway about an Indian couple arrested for abusing their son has revived a nightmare for Sagarika Bhattacharya who used to live in that country but is now back in India. Sagarika and Anurup Bhattacharya's children, Abhigyan and Aishwariya, had been taken away by Norway's child protection agency last May, allegedly because they f...

The family of the couple from Andhra Pradesh, who has been arrested in Norway for alleged child abuse, wants the Indian government to intervene to help bring them home, where their children are being looked after by relatives in Hyderabad. Here's the full text of the letter written to Overseas Affairs minister Vayalar Ravi:

The Child Welfare Committee of Burdwan (CWC) has passed interim orders for release of the siblings Abhigyan Bhattacharya (4 yrs) and Aishwarya Bhattacharya (23 months) from foster care and restoration to their mother, Smt. Sagarika Chakraborty.

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.

Within a month of their return to India, two NRI children, who were earlier taken into foster-care by the Norwegian Childcare Services, find themselves in a new controversy -- their families have filed police complaints against each other alleging threats to kill.

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.
