The custody battle between a Russian mother and her Indian estranged husband has escalated, drawing attention from the Supreme Court of India. The court seeks to prevent the mother and child from leaving the country amid allegations of non-compliance and suspicion of embassy intervention.
The bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, ordered a probe into the Russian embassy's possible role in aiding the mother. The mother, of limited financial means, allegedly violated court orders, leading to ongoing investigations by Delhi Police and the Ministry of External Affairs.
