A student named Rizwan from Ghaziabad is currently caught in the turmoil of the Israel-Iran conflict. Rizwan, who has been studying MBBS at Tehran University for the past year, has raised concerns among his family due to the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. His family, residing in the Loni area of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, is deeply anxious and has reached out to the government for assistance in ensuring the safety of all Indian students in Iran.
Mohammad Ali, Rizwan's father, operates a grocery store in Behta, Loni. His family includes Rizwan, his younger brother Jama Mohammad, three daughters, and his wife Chamanrani. With the recent outbreak of conflict, the family is increasingly worried about Rizwan's well-being and is urging the government to take action.
On Sunday evening, Rizwan managed to contact his father, informing him that he was about to have dinner. He described the chaos around him, mentioning explosions and damage to his building. This alarming news has heightened the family's fears, prompting them to call for government intervention to assist students trapped in Iran.
