New Deldi, Dec 14: Christian evangelist and Praja Santi party founder KA Paul has appealed to the government of Norway to release the Telugu couple Chandrasekhar and Anupama who were convicted for harassing their son. He said they should be at least released for the sake of their children or sent away from that country.
Paul spoke to the media here with Bhargava, brother of Anupama. He said the children were weeping for their parents and the Norwegian government should release the couple or send them out, on humanitarian consideration.
It may be recalled that the Oslo court has convicted the couple and sentenced Chandrasekhar to 18 months in prison and Anupama to 15 months. The couple have appealed to the high court, challenging the Oslo court’s judgment. Norwegian prosecutor Kurt Lir has charged that the couple had beaten their boy with belt and had even scalded him with heated metal. However the couple had denied doing that. Their lawyer has also told the court that they might not have behaved properly with their son, but have not tortured him. It may also be mentioned here that the Norwegian police have arrested the couple 9 months after the incident.
Chandrasekhar, an employee of the software giant TCS, has gone to Norway 18 months ago. He has then taken his wife and two sons also along with him. As it was a long stay, he has admitted his sons in a school in Oslo. It was then that their elder son Sai Sriram has complained to his teachers of the ill- treatment being meted out to him by his parents. However, before police could act, the couple came back with their children. Chandrasekhar was given another assignment and not knowing that a case was waiting for him there, this time the couple went to Oslo, leaving the children behind. Police arrested the couple during their second trip.
