Family seeks help for repatriation

Hussain's family has sought assistance from the Government of India to bring his mortal remains back to Hyderabad, citing financial difficulties.

Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjed Ullah Khan conveyed Hussain's father's appeal to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, seeking government assistance with the repatriation process.

Khan wrote on X: “I have requested you to kindly direct the @IndianEmbassyUS or @IndiainNewYork to extend all necessary assistance to the family, coordinate with the concerned US authorities and facilitate the repatriation of his mortal remains to Hyderabad at the earliest.

“I also earnestly request the Government of India, through your good offices, to bear the expenses involved in transporting his mortal remains from the USA to India, considering the extremely poor financial condition of the bereaved family.”

After completing his degree in 2023, he joined a firm named Estimator as an intern.
