After several days of agonizingly waiting to see her husband in a hospital, Garima finally made her way to Dubai, thanks to the Indian Minister of external affairs (MEA) Sushma Swaraj.
Garima arrived in Dubai early Saturday morning, and tweeted a picture of herself with her unconscious husband, and said, "Thank u @SushmaSwaraj mam, @MEAIndia @cgidubai! With husband. I think he recognised me, his eyes welled and he put his arm out to receive me. My entire family thanks you."
