Sushma Swaraj Raises Concern Over Indian Girl Missing In Texas:- A “deep concern” has been raised by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over a missing three-year-old Indian girl in Texas. The toddler has been missing since October 7 after her foster father made her stand outside the house as punishment for not drinking milk. The Indian Embassy is actively involved in the search, said Swaraj.
“We are deeply concerned about the missing child. Indian Embassy in US is actively involved and they keep me informed,” Sushma Swaraj tweeted late on Thursday night.
