Dimple Sumariya, 38, and her two children, who landed in Mumbai from Kenya on Friday, are here thanks only to a local NGO there who helped them escape an abusive relative.

Sumariya, who is originally from Bhayandar, said she and her children were forcibly taken to Nairobi in October and repeatedly assaulted for months. In desperation, she circulated a video on social media appealing for help, which got the attention of the NGO Oswal Community in Nairobi. Through them, she approached the Indian Consulate there, who finally facilitated the family's return to India.
