BENGALURU: Karnataka high court has denied permission to a Chinese national, accused in a loan app fraud case, to visit China for two months to be with her ailing 80-year-old father. “The petitioner is an accused in not one but seven crimes,” Justice M Nagaprasanna said, while dismissing the petition filed by Hu Xiaolin.
Pointing out that foreigners undergoing trial in China were barred from leaving the country, Justice Nagaprasanna said: “If laws in China prohibit such exit of a foreign national under the aforesaid circumstances, laws of India cannot be made flexible on any score whatsoever, as it is a case of a Chinese national who is involved in multiple crimes.”
Hu had come to India in 2017 and married Indian national Anas Ahmed.
