One week ago, Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi, who had traveled to the US to pursue a master’s degree, was discovered in a starving condition on the streets of Chicago. A subsequent investigation uncovered that all her belongings had been stolen and that she was suffering from depression.

Amjed Ullah Khan, the spokesperson of Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), a Telangana-based party, brought attention to her plight, highlighting her condition.

Once her distressing situation came to light, Syeda Wahaj Fatima, her mother, promptly wrote to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, urgently requesting his intervention to facilitate the immediate return of her daughter.
