Sharma wants to come back home now. One of her friends sought help for her from the Minster of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj on Twitter. Following their tweets, an official from the Indian Embassy in Bali visited her and provided her with a letter that would help clear out her mediclaim back home. While responding to one of the tweets, the Embassy said, "We are in touch with her. The consular officer visited the hospital and spoke to her and hospital representatives. All possible help shall be rendered."
No help to bring her back
But Sharma still needs to be brought back to India for further treatment. So far, she hasn't received much help from the Ministry or the Embassy. A friend of Sharma's who's helping in bringing her back said, "The consular officer Raj Kumar came and spoke to her but so far, no legal assistance has been offered in the case as she doesn't have any travel insurance. They have issued a letter that can help with her mediclaim for her further treatment in India but we haven't received any assistance regarding her travel," said a friend of hers who is helping in bringing her back home. They have also registered a complaint on madad.gov.in, which is the Ministry's website for people seeking help.
