New Delhi, March 21 -- An Indian postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University in the US, Badar Khan Suri, has been detained by federal immigration authorities, reportedly for supporting the Palestinian cause, less than a week after another Indian student self-deported on being accused of involvement in activities supporting Hamas.

Masked agents arrested Suri, whose family hails from Jamia Nagar in New Delhi, outside his home in the Rosslyn neighbourhood of Arlington, Virginia, on Monday night, Politico reported, citing his lawyer's suit filed on Tuesday for his immediate release. P11
