Mohammed Amer Hussain was injured in a serious fire at an off-campus residential complex near FSU in Tallahassee on November 19, 2025.
Key Details:
Victim: Mohammed Amer Hussain, 23, from Hyderabad.
Study: Master’s in Electrical and Electronics, Florida State University (FSU), Tallahassee.
Incident: The fire broke out while he was speaking to his family back in Hyderabad. He sustained severe burn injuries.
Hospital Transfers: According to his friend, Kalyan, Hussain was initially taken to Tallahassee Memorial Health Care but was later shifted to UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida, due to the severity of his burns.
The Crux of the Crisis:
Since the transfer to the specialized burn unit at UF Health Shands Hospital, the family has been unable to get any reliable or direct information about his health status. This information blackout is creating immense distress.
Intervention Required:
Given the seriousness of burn injuries (which often require months of recovery and specialized care) and the complete lack of information for the parents, this situation requires immediate diplomatic intervention.
The family, residents of Amberpet, Hyderabad, have already reached out to the Indian government. Political figures (like MBT leader Amjed Ullah Khan) have written to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, specifically requesting the Embassy of India in Washington DC and the Consulate General of India in Atlanta to:
Immediately reach out to UF Health Shands Hospital to get an official, first-hand update on Mohammed Amer Hussain’s condition.
Keep the family informed directly and consistently.
Facilitate Emergency Visas for his parents to travel to the US immediately to be with their son during his recovery from severe burn injuries and mental trauma.
End….
