Gurpreet, an Indian woman who was allegedly forced in to a refugee camp in Germany, along with her 8-year-old daughter has been rescued in a swift action by the Indian embassy in Germany.
India's Foreign Minister, Mrs. Sushma Swaraj tweeted to say that the woman had been rescued.
The woman from Faridabad had posted a video on social media saying she had been hoodwinked into going to Germany by her husband's family, and she claimed that she and her daughter had been admitted to a refugee camp.
“I request the Indian government to take me to India... I will give the full details of what happened to me once I reach India,” she said in Hindi in the video.
Following this, Sushma Swaraj said on Tuesday that the authorities were in touch with Gurpreet’s father and that the external affairs ministry has got the full report from the Indian embassy in Germany.
On Wednesday, Sushma Swaraj also lauded efforts put in by India’s ambassador in Germany Gurjit Singh and consul general in Frankfurt Raveesh Kumar.
“We have brought Gurpreet and her eight-year-old daughter from the refugee camp to our consulate in Frankfurt,” Sushma Swaraaj tweeted on Wednesday.
“Outstanding job done by our @AmbGurjitSingh and Raveesh Kumar our Consul General in Frankfurt,” she added.
