HYDERABAD: A 28-year-old youth was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his home in Massachusetts, USA. He has been identified as Mohammed Jaber Hussain of Hyderabad. Jaber was working as a civil engineer in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Jaber got married just 17 days ago. His family is now seeking the central government’s assistance to bring his body back to India. Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjed Ullah Khan posted Hussain’s father’s letter to Foreign Minister S Jaishankar on X seeking help.
