'Tortured' by her adoptive US parents, woman cries for help

BHUBANESWAR: A 21-year-old US-based woman has accused her adoptive parents of torturing her and forcing her to convert to Christianity, reports Hemanta Pradhan. She has sought Odisha CM Mohan Majhi’s help to return to India, claiming her life is in danger in the US. In a video posted on social media, the woman, adopted at 14 by an American couple in 2018, said she could no longer bear the harassment. “They want me to accept Christianity, but as a Hindu, I cannot. My life is in danger,” she said, alleging her adoptive mother made her do household chores without giving her food. “It is my request to Odisha govt to take me home. I am still an Indian girl and not happy in the US,” she added. Officials who saw the social media post contacted the State Adoption Resource Agency and Central Adoption Resource Authority. “They will act as per rules,” Balasore collector Suryawanshi Mayur Vikas said, adding SARA has informed MEA.
