The Ministry of External Affairs today assured the return of baby Ariha Shah – who has been separated from her parents for 21 months – from a foster care facility in Germany’s Berlin to India.
Germany’s Child Services took the baby girl, a little over 2 years old, away on suspicion that she was being assaulted by the parents. But despite criminal charges being dropped as far back as February 2022, she has not been reunited with her parents, who are all Indians.
