Bhavani Esapathi, 31, who arrived in the UK on a student visa, was in a vegetative state when she received a letter from the Home Office stating that her application for ‘leave to remain’, a British term for permanent residency, was rejected.
The woman is currently undergoing treatment for Crohn’s disease, a condition which causes inflammation of the digestive tract and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications.
Esapathi claimed that the specific drug therapy that her illness requires is unavailable in India. The Home Office, however, made clear that Esapathi’s circumstances don’t justify her staying in the country and suggested that she could at least get “palliative care” in India.
