Nuclear scientist detained in US, kin seek help

Bulandshahr-based parents of TK Bhardwaj, a former Nuclear Scientist at A&M University in the US, are running from pillar to post since December 2016, to help their son get justice. A 72-year-old father is knocking the doors of every who’s who possible to set his son free.

Bhardwaj’s family has been alleging that he is being framed in false cases and that they have been denied visa too. According to Ram Kishan Bhardwaj, his son was jailed on December 29, 2016, at Brazos County Detention Centre, after he raised his voice against corruption and racial discrimination.

When asked what might have triggered the situation, his brother Prasoon said, “He was an extraordinary performer. There is professional jealousy. He is also a victim of racial discrimination and it could also be because he raised his voice against corruption in the system. He was also attacked and under pressure to leave the country.”
