The letter also highlights Ali’s recent marriage to a 17-year-old Bangladeshi girl named Sadia Aqtar, alleging that both Saba and Sadia are subjected to physical violence.

Saba and her children have reportedly sought refuge in a hotel in Jeddah after fleeing their home.

Saba’s marriage to Ali was arranged by her family after a dowry dispute led to a divorce from her first husband just a month into their marriage. Following their marriage, Saba and her mother embarked on Umrah to Saudi Arabia. While Sabera returned to India post-Umrah, Saba stayed back with her husband.

Sabera has urged the Indian government to facilitate the repatriation of her daughter and grandchildren to India.
