A Hyderabad woman, who was pursuing a master’s degree at TRINE University in Detroit, United States (US), has been reportedly found starving on the streets of Chicago.
The family of Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi has approached the External Affairs Ministry (EAM) to bring her back to India “as soon as possible”.
“My daughter had gone to the US for her masters in 2021. She was doing well. However, we had no contact with her for the past 2 months. Later we came to know that she had lost her bags, certificates and everything and went into depression. Her health condition is also very bad. We hope that she comes back as soon as possible,” her mother Syeda Wahaj Fatima told the media.
In a letter to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, the victim’s mother also begged him to “immediately interfere” and bring her daughter home “as soon as possible”.
“This is to state that my daughter Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi resident of 41-48, Sadullal Nazar behind Eid Gah, Moula Ali, Medchal District, Telangana State went to pursue her Master’s in Information Science from TRINE University, Detroit, USA during Aug 2021 and was studying and was in touch with us. Since the last two months, she was not in touch with me and recently through two Hyderabadi youths we came to know that my daughter is under deep depression and her entire belonging has been stolen due to which she is on verge of starvation and being spotted on roads of Chicago, USA,” the mother wrote in the letter.
“It is requested to kindly ask the Embassy of India. Washington DC, USA and Indian Consulate in Chicago, USA to immediately interfere and bring back my daughter as soon as possible back to India. Necessary action taken in this regard may be informed,” she added.
Telengana based political party Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) has also appealed to External Affairs Minister (EAM) Jaishankar to bring her back.
“Ms Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi from Hyd went to pursue MS from TRINE University, Detroit was found in a very bad condition in Chicago, IL. Her mother has appealed @DrSJaishankar to bring back her daughter. Would appreciate immediate help,” an MBT spokesperson tweeted.
