Sureshbhai Patel, 57 was slammed to the ground by a police officer named Eric Parker, as a result of which he suffered
injury to his spine and is partially paralyzed. The assault on an innocent old man has come in for wide condemnation.
Alabama governor has since tendered an apology for the
conduct of the police officer.
NEW YORK (YIP): The very special and mature relationship between India and USA evidenced itself in US government acting swiftly to provide a visa to Shakuntala Patel, wife of Sureshbhai Patel who was assaulted by a police officer in Madison, Alabama on February 6. Shakuntala Patel has since arrived in Madison and is with her husband who is convalescing in a hospital with serious spine injury which has nearly paralyzed him.
New York based attorney Ravi Batra had, in a letter earlier, (published in The Indian Panorama) requested US Secretary of State John Kerry to grant a humanitarian visa to Sahakuntala to visit her husband. Mr. Batra had also requested Rishikant Singh, Regional Manager of Air India to facilitate Shakuntala Patel’s travel from India to USA.
