On Tuesday, the Nepal’s Department of Immigration witnessed an unusual case in which parents attempted to pull their daughter toward them in a power struggle, drawing the attention of bystanders. A video has gone viral on social media claiming that an 8-year-old girl named Meher Goel is being kidnapped by her father despite the fact that the Supreme Court has handed the custody of the girl to her mother.

Karan Goel, a US passport holder, had arrived at the office to get a visit visa for his eight-year-old daughter. Around the same time, Kanika Goel, the child’s mother, and Karan Goel’s former wife arrived at the office to claim the girl was her daughter and to prevent her from going along with Karan Goyal.

Karan Luthra, who claims to be a relative of Meher shared the live scenes from the immigration office where they were apprehended. In a video, the mother of the child is screaming and Meher is shouting to return to her mother.

Tagging Ministry of External Affairs of India and Nepal, External Affairs Ministers S. Jaishankar and Meenakshi Lekhi, Union Cabinet Minister for Women & Child Development Smriti Irani, Karan Luthra urged the ministers to bring the child back to India. He claimed that the girl had spent the last five years living with her mother. He also tagged the Prime Minister’s Office in his tweet, claiming that the girl’s father Karan Goel is abducting his own child with the help of ex-military US goons.

Nishtha, a motivational speaker and empowerment coach, posted a video on her Instagram account in which the man recording the video confronts Meher’s father and grandmother for kidnapping the child. In the video, the girl yells to let her go back to her mother, but her father held her tight. When the video maker moves the camera to Meher’s grandmother’s side, she tries to stay out of the frame and throws the phone away.
