Indian Nationals in US Deportation Cases: MEA Updates
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is closely monitoring two significant cases involving Indian nationals in the United States. Both cases have raised concerns, highlighting the complexities of immigration and international relations.
Ranjani Srinivasan’s Departure
In the first case, Ranjani Srinivasan, a 37-year-old PhD student from India, recently self-deported to Canada. Reports indicate that Srinivasan did not contact the Indian consulate or embassy for assistance during her departure. “We were informed of her departure through media reports,” stated MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. Srinivasan reportedly faced an intimidating atmosphere, prompting her to make a quick decision to leave the US. She left her belongings and her cat behind, taking a flight from LaGuardia Airport to Canada after avoiding immigration agents’ visits.
Badar Khan Suri’s Detention
In a separate case, Indian scholar Badar Khan Suri was detained in the US due to alleged ties to Hamas. A US district judge temporarily blocked his deportation, but the MEA reported that neither Suri nor the US government has approached the Indian embassy for assistance. Suri’s lawyer has filed a lawsuit for his immediate release, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
