Delhi Police informed the Saket court that a Red Corner Notice has been issued against Russian national Viktoriia Basu, who allegedly fled India with her minor son last year despite a Supreme Court order granting joint custody to both parents.

The custody dispute and Basu's departure remain under judicial consideration.
