The Indian student who was a victim of a road accident in America this month has gone into coma. Her family members in Maharashtra are seeking help from the Center regarding visa to meet her. Let us tell you that 35-year-old Neelam Shinde, a resident of Satara district of Maharashtra, was allegedly hit by a car on February 14 and is currently in the ICU.
