35-year-old Neelam Shinde, who hails from Maharashtra’s Satara, was allegedly hit by a four-wheeler in California over 10 days ago and has been in a coma since.
Her family sought the Centre’s assistance in getting a visa to the US at the earliest and on Thursday, they got a call from the US embassy in Mumbai for a visa interview on Friday, February 28. This came after the Ministry of External Affairs took up the matter, with the American side assuring that they were looking into the formalities for early grant of visa.
Who Is Neelam Shinde?
According to sources, she is a final year Master of Science (MS) student at California State University and has been living in the US for the last 4 years.
On February 14, 2025, she met with a serious accident with a car while walking on the road and is in a coma at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California. She has suffered severe injuries in her arms, legs, and head, and a major injury in her chest which led her to a coma.
The family alleged that it was a case of hit-and-run case as the car hit the Satara native from behind, leading to serious injuries.
