US President Donald Trump's daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump has praised terming her act as a "beautiful feat of endurance and love".

She took to Twitter and stated, "15 yr old Jyoti Kumari, carried her wounded father to their home village on the back of her bicycle covering +1,200 km over 7 days. This beautiful feat of endurance & love has captured the imagination of the Indian people and the cycling federation!🇮🇳."

Where is Jyoti Kumar?

Now, the father-daughter duo is at a quarantine centre near their village Sirhulli under Singhwara block of the district.

Kumari is determined not to let her father return to Gurugram where he was driven to penury following an accident a few months ago that rendered him unfit to make a living as an e-rickshaw driver.

Paswan said his landlord gave him an ultimatum to either pay the rent that was due for a few months, or leave.
