Washington:The U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement today removed radio tags of four more Indian students of the now shut-down Tri Valley University in California. So far radio tags of 11 of the 18 Indian students have been removed. These students were radio tagged in California after Tri Valley University was shut down in January on charges of massive visa fraud. Susmita Gongulee Thomas, the Consul General, Indian Consulate San Francisco, hoped that the total number of Indian students which radio tags have been moved could touch 15 later. All these 15 students had sought the help of the Indian Consulate for legal help; while the fate of the three others is not known as they preferred to go through their own independent lawyers. The Indian Consulate in San Francisco worked with the South Asian Bar Association (SABA) in this regard.
