A British woman who moved to India to build an orphanage claims she has been trapped there for two years after being accused of a local child's manslaughter.
Frightened Narges Ashtari, 28, originally from Iran but who grew up and went to school in Exeter, Devon, set up the Prishan Foundation in 2010 with the hope of 'improving the lives of orphans and abandoned children around the world'.
Ms Ashtari's parents both died when she was a child and when she met an orphaned baby boy in Sri Lanka named Prishan he inspired her to help others. The Prishan Foundation has since built an orphanage for girls and a home for blind children in the eastern state of Odisha in India.
However, after the disappearance of a child in 2014, feared drowned, she has become embroiled in a criminal case and now faces a possible jail term if convicted.
