A woman from Hyderabad, Syeda Lulu Minhaj Zaidi, who went to the USA to pursue a master’s degree, was seen on a street in Chicago on the verge of starvation. Her condition was brought to light by Amjed Ullah Khan, a spokesperson of the Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), a party based in Telangana.

In a tweet, Mr. Khan shared a video of the woman who is seen sitting on a corner of the street with a few belongings. The woman is seen having trouble remembering her name at first. When asked about her condition, she explained that she was taken to a hospital for treatment, but her health deteriorated further after blood samples were extracted from her body for testing.
