External Affairs Minister S M Krishna today strongly condemned the reported forcible wearing of radio collars around the ankles of Indian students in the Tri-Valley University in the US and demanded severe action against those responsible for the inhuman act. Speaking to reporters in Bangalore, Mr.Krishna said, his Ministry will extend all help to the students. He said, the parents need not worry since the matter has been taken up with appropriate authorities. Mr. Krishna said, the government would also provide suitable assistance to the affected students if they wished to return to India. Strongly taking up the matter with the State Department and other concerned departments, the Indian embassy in Washington has asked the US government to ensure that none of the Indian students affected by the immigration scam of Tri Valley University is victimised. The embassy and its consulates in New York and San Francisco have taken up the matter with US authorities. The students, mostly from Andhra Pradesh, are facing the prospect of deportation as authorities last week shut down the Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, a major suburb in San Francisco Bay Area, on charges of a massive immigration fraud. These students are now frantically knocking at the doors of colleges begging for admission in their desperate attempt to save their academic careers and avoid deportation.
