Us Custody Row

The US pop megastar's lawyer told judge Alistair MacDonald that she wanted to end the court battle being fought in London with British film director Guy Ritchie over their 15-year-old son

Indrashish Saha, an 18-month-old boy from Bengal, who had been taken away from his parents in the United States and put into the custody of the child protection organisation, will return home today.

The grandfather of one-year-old Indrashish Saha - who has been taken into custody by the child welfare services in New Jersey in USA - today met President Pranab Mukherjee who has assured all help in the matter.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said the External Affairs Ministry has assured her of assistance to help the US-based Indian couple in the custody row over their one-year-old boy.

One-year-old Indrashish Saha is lying in a surgical ward in New Jersey's Children's Specialised Hopsital, being treated for head injuries. He can't see his parents, because their access to him has been restricted to just two hours a week by US authorities, who suspect that they are not being fully honest about his injuries.

Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya met their children after three months on Friday. For about an hour and five minutes it was family time as usual. They held the toddlers, fed them and played with them. Then, it was time to go. For the Bhattacharyas are allowed to meet their children only once in three months.
