She is not in a condition to go right now, according to the response I got from the Indian Consulate in Chicago and the Ministry of External Affairs to my tweet.

We're attempting to transport her parents to Chicago to look after the girl. There are no passports for the parents. We have pleaded with Telangana's IT Minister KTR to assist us in obtaining for them passports and visas from the US Consulate in Hyderabad.
