London: The chief of the Dutch subsidiary of i-Flex Solutions Senthil Kumar, who was arrested on alleged violation of Dutch visa rules, was on April 2 granted bail by a local court.

Magistrate Workman, while granting bail on a bond of 20,000 Pounds directed Kumar not to leave London city and fixed the case for hearing on April 11.

Senthil Kumar was detained in London by police on March 26 on a request from the Dutch authorities and sent to judicial custody in yet another incident involving harassment of Indian IT professionals abroad.

Fourteen other employees of i-Flex working for the Dutch subsidiary were also asked last week to quit the Netherlands.

The latest incident triggered an outcry in the Information Technology industry in the country and the Indian and the Dutch governments were locked in a war of words.
