Telangana Woman Rides Scooter For 1,400 km, Brings Back Son Stuck Due To Lockdown
Mumbai: Telangana’s 48-year-old Razia Begum covered nearly 1,400 km on a scooter over three days, after local police permission, to bring home her son after he got stuck in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore due to nationwide lockdown.
She returned with her son on Wednesday evening.
Razia Begum, a teacher from Bodhan in Nizamabad district, said her son Nizamuddin had gone to Nellore on March 12 to see his friends’ ailing father, but could not return due to lockdown and suspension of transport facilities.
“I wanted to bring back my son. I approached Bodhan ACP Jaipal Reddy and explained my situation to him. The ACP immediately gave me the permission letter for travelling to Nellore,” she told ANI.
Razia told ANI that she rode solo after getting permission from the local police.
She also said that she was stopped at several places by the police due to the lockdown but due to the official letter she was allowed to pass.
“At several checkpoints, I was stopped by police personnel. I showed the letter given by Bodhan ACP after which I was let go. I travelled to the jungles but I had no fear because I wanted to bring my son back home.”
Razia set out on the arduous journey on Monday and returned with her son on Wednesday (April 8).
