The couple belongs to Andhra Pradesh. Chandrasekhar Vallabhaneni is software professional, while his wife Anupama is an officer at the Indian Embassy.
The couple was arrested after his 7-year-old son complained to his school teachers that his parents were threatening to send him back to India for his acts.
The incident occurred months after another couple complained their children were taken away from them by the Norway’s Child Welfare Society in May last year. The Norway authorities alleged that there was emotional disconnection with their parents.
