Jurisdiction over custodial rights of a minor U.S. citizen will remain with U.S. Courts but depending on other circumstances, such as citizenship of the parents, the Indian Courts may have concurrent (also have) jurisdiction if the child lands in India and is in India at the time of the custodial dispute.
