Bangalore, India (AHN) – The Indian government slammed U.S. authorities on Sunday for putting electronic monitoring anklets on Indian students suspected of buying student visas.

External affairs minister S. M. Krishna strongly condemned the actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and demanded that the electronic monitors be removed from the ankles of the Indian students of Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton, California.

The university, where most of the 1,555 students enrolled are from India, had been closed for allegedly selling student visas.

Krishna also demanded that the U.S. government punish officials responsible for the inhuman act.

The Indian government also sent a protest to the U.S. deputy ambassador in New Delhi.

The Telugu Association of North America reported to the Indian media that the ICE required some Indian students to wear the radio tracker so it could monitor their movements.
