Nitasha Kaul, a British academic of Indian origin, was deported from India in February 2024 while attempting to enter the country for a conference. Despite having a valid U.K. passport and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, she was held for 24 hours at Bengaluru airport before being sent back. In May 2025, the Indian government revoked her OCI status, citing 'anti-India activities.' Kaul has filed a plea with the Delhi High Court, seeking permission to visit her elderly mother in New Delhi, who is suffering from health issues. She argues that the government's actions are arbitrary and violate her rights, reflecting a disregard for the rule of law.
