New Delhi: Two of the Indian students who had been duped by Tri Valley University and tagged with radio collars for movement monitoring have been sent to a detention centre by the US authorities.
The two students were detained after they complained about the movement device tied to their legs.
The two students of the now-shut California-based university would be released only after they furnish a bond of 8,000 to 20,000 US dollars.
The Central Government on Tuesday lodged a strong protest with the US Embassy in New Delhi over certain "unacceptable" comments made by Juliet Wur, Public Affairs Officer at the US Consulate in Hyderabad, on tagging of Indian students in California after which the Embassy expressed regrets.
Wur had told reporters in Hyderabad that tagging was a "hip and happening" thing and wondered why Indians were agitated over it.
US Deputy Chief of Mission Donald Lu expressed regrets over the comments by Juliet Wur, Public Affairs Officer at the US Consulate in Hyderabad, when Jawed Ashraf, Joint Secretary (Americas) in the External Affairs Ministry, called him.
