We have maintained regular contact with the individuals, their families and lawyers, and with the Indian authorities on these cases. Some have now been released on bail and some have been authorised to return to the UK. As their legal cases progress we are tailoring our assistance to their needs, including liaising with the local authorities to arrange their repatriation to the UK.
