India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s Twitter handle usually gets flooded with queries from those in need of help and the minister often tries her best to answer each one of them. In the same way, Sushma Swaraj’s Twitter handle received an uncanny request for help from 2008 Olympic gold medalist in Shooting and  he is Abhinav Bindra.

His regard was that his Coach lost his passport. He was on his way to Rio for the Pre-Olympics. Abhinav was left stranded in Germany, after his Coach’s passport got stolen. He then got an idea and left a message to Sushma Swaraj for the help.

@SushmaSwaraj 1/2 Ma’am my coaches passport is stolen in Cologne and need assistance. We are on our way to Rio for the pre Olympics

Abhinav tweeted “Ma’am my coaches passport is stolen in Cologne and need assistance. We are on our way to Rio for the Pre-Olympics. We are stuck. Need your help in order to secure a new travel document and Brazil visa to be able to compete successfully.”

@SushmaSwaraj and are stuck. Need your help in order to secure a new travel document and Brazil visa to be able to compete successfully. 2/2
