HYDERABAD: Four children along with their mother are stuck in Karnataka’s Bidar due to the lockdown. The children’s father has been approaching different authorities to help bring them back to Hyderabad.
The mother, Shabana Begum along with their four children — Sumera (10), Afreen (8), Sherin (6) and Mustafa (4) — had gone to attend a marriage function on March 19 and were supposed to return a day after the janata curfew.

“The lockdown announcement was unexpected. Since then, my wife and four children have been stuck there. My wife is struggling to manage the kids alone there at her parent’s house. The children have been crying every day asking her when are they coming back home,” said Mohammed Hazi, a resident of Talabkatta in Amannagar.
He is currently living with another one of his sons.
“They have limited resources there, I am worried about their well being. I just need a few hours of permission, so that I can drive till Bidar and bring them back home,” he added. Hazi has approached child rights NGO Balala Hakkula Sangamam seeking help to bring the family back.
“We have written a letter to the human rights commission requesting to instruct the South Zone police to issue permission so that he can bring the family back,” said NGO president Achyuta Rao.
Meanwhile, police said that they will look into the issue. “The family is currently staying in a different state. We will look into the matter and accordingly take a decision,” said a senior police official.
