HC grants bail to Mumbai woman hired to smuggle minors to US

The Bombay high court on Monday granted bail to a Jogeshwari (East) resident who allegedly smuggled two minor children – a boy and a girl – to the US, using Indian passports of her children.

The Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) police booked Nirmal Azar Qureshi last year under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) after receiving information from the US consulate in Mumbai complaining that she was purportedly “hired” to smuggle two unknown children using Indian passports of her own children containing valid US visas.
