Recently, the news of an Indian family being harassed in Norway has been in the news. According to the family, they're being falsely accused of beating their only son. As a result, the Norway government has taken custody of their child.
The child is five-years-old and the Child Welfare Department of Norway is taking care of him currently.
This is when our External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj, pitched in to help.

Since the father has been living there for 26 years, he and his son are Norwegian nationals. However, the mother isn't.
I have received the report. Father and son are Norwegian nationals. We will represent on request of the mother, who is an Indian national. https://t.co/zV6SIzpMpu

Swaraj will be representing the mother and has taken the case forward with the Indian Embassy in Norway.
