External Affairs Minister S M Krishna today sought a report from the Indian mission on US child service authorities in New Jersey restricting an Indian couple access to their one-year-old son after he underwent surgery for an injury.

Official sources said that Krishna has sought a report from the mission on the US-based Indian couple, hailing from Balurghat in West Bengal, being given limited access by American authorities to their son.

Nirmal and Sonarani Saha, the grandparents of the child Indrasish, had said yesterday that he fell from the bed on August 9 at the couple's New Jersey home when his mother Pamela was cooking and his father Debas was in office. Nirmal Saha had said Indrashish was immediately rushed to a state-owned hospital where he was admitted by doctors and underwent a surgery.

The child's grandfather said that after Indrashish got well, his parents wanted to take him home but the hospital authorities refused to hand him over to them as the Child Protection Organisation alleged that the parents had failed to take proper care of him.
