The family members of Judith D’Souza, who was abducted from Taimani area of Kabul last week, said on Wednesday that they were satisfied with the efforts by both Indian and Afghanistan governments to secure her release.

“On a regular basis we have conversation with MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) officials thrice a day. They are very cooperative. They share with us some information which is only for the consumption of my parents and family. We can’t share that. But all I can say is, we are happy with the efforts made by the Indian and Afghanistan government to bring my sister back,” Judith’s brother Jerome told PTI.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had earlier called up Judith’s family here and assured them of making all-out effort to bring her back.

Judith’s family had also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urging him to do his “utmost” in securing her release from the abductors in Afghanistan.
