US citizen named patel kidnapped his own child

US Citizen from India named Patel Arrested for ‘Kidnapping’ his own child.

Posted on September 11, 2021September 11, 2021 By Piya Baidya

Amitkumar Kanubhai Patel, a naturalized US citizen now living in Vadodara, has been arrested in England and extradited to the United States to face charges of obstruction of parental rights of his child’s mother, a US attorney said Friday.

Patel, 38, was arrested in England where he flew in with his child. He made his initial court appearance and was arraigned Friday in a New Jersey court following his extradition to face charges that he obstructed the parental rights of his child’s mother by kidnapping the child and failing to return him to the United States when ordered to do so.

He appeared by video conference before US Magistrate Judge Karen M William in Camden federal court and was detained. The international parental kidnapping count carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a maximum fine of USD 250,000.

According to documents, the child’s mother, a resident of New Jersey, and Patel were in a relationship and resided together in New Jersey from August 2015 through July 2017. They were never married. In November 2016, they had a child. The names of the child and his mother were not released.

The mother said that Patel wanted to take the child to India to introduce him to Patel’s parents and obtain DNA testing. Patel claimed DNA testing was necessary for the child to claim property that Patel’s family owned in India.

Patel attempted to obtain an Indian visa for the child when the child was approximately four months old. The visa application was denied because Patel did not have documentation of his custodial rights to the child.

According to court papers, Patel told the child’s mother that in order to obtain an Indian visa for the child, he would need to secure sole custody of their son, which required them to go to court.

Patel instructed the child’s mother to tell the court that they had a mutual understanding regarding the custody of their child. He instructed the mother to state. She did not have a work permit, and since she was unemployed, and could not care for her child.

On May 1, 2017, Patel went to New Jersey Superior Court, Chancery Division Family Court, to obtain sole custody of the child. According to the child’s mother, the majority of the hearing was conducted in English with no translator. At the time of the hearing, the child’s mother spoke limited English.

The mother answered the court’s questions as she had been instructed by Patel. In any attorney during the hearing she was not represented, it said.

The next day, the court entered an order granting. Patel sole legal custody of the minor child and allowing the mother to file for joint legal custody in future. Upon receiving the court order, Patel obtained visas to India for himself and the child through Quick Travel Inc.

Patel told the child’s mother the trip to India would be for two weeks. On July 26, 2017, Patel and the child traveled to India.

According to the child’s mother, she sent multiple messages to Patel requesting confirmation that the two arrived safely in India and got no response for several days. Patel eventually called the mother and said he never brought the child back to the United States.

The child’s mother obtained legal counsel, returned to the New Jersey Superior Court, and on October 16, 2018, the court ordered Patel to immediately return the child to the United States.

Records show he and the child have not returned to the United States since July 2017.- The Department of Justice said.
