Dror, husband of Russian woman Nina Kutina, who was rescued with her daughters from a Gokarna cave, said he was denied permission to meet them at the Tumakuru detention centre without written approval from the FRRO.

A Russian-origin woman and her two young daughters were rescued from a dangerous cave in the forested Ramatirtha Hill area of Gokarna on July 9, after police discovered them living there in hazardous conditions. Authorities later confirmed that the woman, identified as Nina Kutina (40), had overstayed her visa by over eight years.
