TV Actress Nupur Alankar’s Brother-In-Law Stuck In Afghanistan’s Kandahar, Says 'It’s A Very Scary Situation'
In a telephonic conversation with the website, the 50-year-old businessman says that he is now stuck in Kandahar.
Among the many Indians stuck in Afghanistan waiting to return back after the Taliban took over the country, is popuar actress Nupur Alankar’s brother-in-law, Kaushal Agarwal.
A report in timesofindia.com states that ‘the 50-year-old businessman is married to Nupur’s younger sister and is father to six-year-old twins, he flew to Kabul on July 16 on a business trip and was scheduled to return home on August 15, but he is now stuck in Kandahar.’
In a telephonic conversation with the website, Kaushal said, “It’s a very scary situation here. When I reached Kabul on July 16, it wasn’t bad and nobody expected things to spiral out of control in such a short span. My original plan was to return to India on August 15, but since I hadn’t finished my work, I went to the Indian embassy for an extension of my visa till August 30.”
Kaushal, who is currently in Kandahar, is staying at a friend’s office further added, “There are frequent power cuts and we have electricity supply for about three-four hours each day. Also, there’s no proper water supply and we are able to take a bath only once in three days. I charge my mobile phone by using the car battery. They have instructed all mobile network providers to stop the connection from 6 pm to 6 am. So, I can make calls only before and after that. The Taliban can be seen patrolling the streets of Kandahar and it is unnerving. I am stuck here and all I want to do is return to India and be with my family. I have mailed a request to the Indian embassy, but there is no reply from them yet. My calls to their office have gone unanswered. I will have to go to Kabul to take a flight to India, but the worry right now is how do I get there?”
Meanwhile, Kaushal’s family in Mumbai is trying to reach out to government officials for his safe return.
