A Hyderabad woman identified as Syed Lulu Minhaj, who went to the United States in 2021 to pursue a Master’s Degree in Information Sciences, has been found in a distressed condition on the roads of Chicago. The woman is struggling to remember her name and the reason for her situation.
The Consulate General of India in Chicago has responded to the case, stating, “We have just become aware of the situation regarding Syed Lulu Minhaj. Please DM to keep in touch.”
According to sources, the woman’s mother has not been able to contact her. Reports suggest that she is battling depression and starvation after her belongings were allegedly stolen. In a letter addressed to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, the woman’s mother, Syeda Wahaj Fatima, has requested assistance in bringing her daughter back home.
Social activists have shared the mother’s letter on social media platforms, drawing attention to her dire situation. BRS leader Khaleequr Rahaman shared the letter, along with a video of the woman, identified as Minhaj Zaidi, struggling to recall her own name. In the video, she appears visibly depressed and malnourished. The person behind the camera offers her food and urges her to eat.
In the letter, the woman’s mother describes her daughter’s journey and states, “My daughter Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi, a resident of Maula Ali, went to pursue her Masters in Information Sciences from TRINE University, Detroit, USA, in August 2021. She was often in touch with us. However, for the past two months, she has not been in contact, and we learnt from two Hyderabad youths that my daughter is in depression and someone stole her belongings, which has left her starving. My daughter was spotted on the roads of Chicago in the USA.”
The desperate plea for help has sparked concern and calls for immediate assistance to bring the woman back to Hyderabad and provide her with the necessary support and care she desperately needs.
