HYDERABAD: The family of a 26-year-old student, Syed Sufiyan Hussain, who went to pursue higher studies in the UK, has urged the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to help them get Sufiyan back to India as he seems mentally disturbed there.
“He was alright here, but after reaching the UK, there was a change in his behaviour which has caused concern to us,” Sufiyan’s sister, Syeda Aineen, a resident of Musheerabad in Hyderabad, told TOI on Wednesday.
Syed Sufiyan Hussain went to pursue a Master’s in Business with International Management with Advanced Practice from the University of Northumbria, Newcastle, London, United Kingdom, on October 11. He was staying at 178, RM83XP Bennett’s Castle Ln, Dagenham, United Kingdom, and joined the university.
“After one week, he started behaving in an abnormal way and was taken to Newham University Hospital,” MBT leader and social worker Amjed Ullah Khan said in a letter to Union external affairs minister S Jaishankar.
He said after being in the hospital, he ran away and reportedly started creating a ruckus on the road. Police arrested him and shifted him to Newham Centre for Mental Health.
As he is the only son of his parents, Syed Azhar Hussain and Nasreen Begum, they are very much worried about their son and have requested me to request you to help them in bringing their only son back home. Kindly ask the Indian High Commission in London, United Kingdom, to personally visit the Newham Centre for Mental Health and take necessary steps to send him back home as soon as possible, Amjed Ullah Khan said.
