    Sushma Swaraj tweeted that she received a YouTube message from Mohammad Akbar that his daughter Mohammadia Begum, an Indian national, was married to a person in Pakistan "and was being ill-treated by her in-laws".
     
    "Our mission sent a Note Verbale requesting the safety, security and well-being of Mohammadia Begum," she said.
     
    "Our High Commission officials met Mohammadia Begum and she expressed her desire to return to India."
