Washington, : US police are treating Indian students cheated by the
Tri-Valley University at the Silicon Valley, in the Visa scam as
ordinary criminals. The university has given over 900 Visas against 30
it was authorized to issue. With the result, US authorities have
closed the  university and are prosecuting its authorities. However,
innocent Indian students who lost lakhs of rupees which they paid
towards their fee also now face the prospect of returning to India
without completing their coveted higher education. Adding insult to
injury, US police have fixed Radio Collars to the legs of these
students. These tracking instruments  are generally used to trace the
movements of criminals when they are released on bail. The US
authorities instead of coming to the aid of the students who went
there with high hopes of getting higher education are insulting them
by treating them as hardened criminals.
Indian government angry:
       Indian government has expressed anger at fixing radio callers to
Indian students. The government has demanded that they be immediately
removed. In a statement, External Affairs ministry said that the US
authorities were advised to treat the Indian students with respect as
they had not violated any US law. Ministry officials have called US
Embassy official Donald Look to the ministry and told him to ensure
that Indian students were treated properly. The government has also
requested the US government to examine if the status of the students
could be changed and if they could be shifted to some other
university.
