Israeli national Dror Goldstein, father of two girls rescued from a cave in Karnataka with their Russian mother Nina Kutina, was denied permission to meet his children at a detention centre in Tumakuru. Despite waiting all day, authorities cited Nina’s refusal to meet him. Goldstein, who met Nina in Goa in 2017, filed a missing complaint in 2024, expressing concern over the girls’ isolation and lack of formal education. He seeks shared custody and opposes their deportation to Russia. Nina, whose visa expired in 2017, has lived in India since, embracing a nature-based lifestyle. The case highlights complex custody, immigration, and emotional challenges. (PC: Deccan Herald & The Indian Express)
