India has reached out to the United States government over a visa application for relatives of Nilam Shinde, the 35-year-old who is in a coma in a California hospital after a road accident earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Sources told NDTV the External Affairs Ministry’s Americas Division has contacted the American administration to issue a visa, or at least an emergency travel permit.<\/p>\n
Ms Shinde – a postgraduate student at the California State University – suffered serious injuries, including fractures, after she was mowed down from behind by a four-wheeled on February 14.<\/p>\n
Her family applied for a visa 48 hours later, but the application has been pending since.<\/p>\n
The tragic situation made headlines only this week, after NCP MP Supriya Sule’s X post red-flagging Ms Shinde’s condition and the despair of her father, brother, and uncle.<\/p>\n
Ms Shinde’s mother died of brain cancer a few years ago.<\/p>\n
“This is an alarming issue, and we all need to get together and help resolve it. I have been engaged with the family and assuring them that this will be resolved,” Ms Sule told NDTV, calling on the External Affairs Ministry to help ensure Ms Shinde’s family can visit her.<\/p>\n
