A woman, hailing from Vizag, took to Twitter on Thursday, to request help regarding her father’s death in Saudi Arabia. In her tweet, Shaik Sameena informed that her father, Abdul Ayaz, was murdered in Al Kharma’, Saudi Arabia. Abdul Ayaz worked as a sales supervisor at National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) in Saudi Arabia. Sameena tagged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Minister of External Affairs, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, in her tweet, seeking help in bringing her father’s body back to India.
