The brother of Kolkata girl, Judith D'Souza, who was abducted from Kabul six weeks ago, met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in Delhi today and appealed to her to ensure his sister's safe return.

"I met her at her home in Delhi today. She has assured that the ministry has been trying its best to bring back Judith. Her assurances give us hope that she will be home soon," Jerome told PTI from Delhi.

40-year-old Judith, who was working for Aga Khan Foundation as a senior technical adviser, was kidnapped by suspected militants from outside her office in the heart of Kabul on June 9. She was scheduled to return home this week.
 

Her family has already written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to do his utmost to secure her release.
