How to ask for help?
If you are assaulted in another country, the first thing is to take yourself to a safe place. Then without delay, report everything to the local police. This report will be very useful later on, especially if you have to make an insurance claim or need any legal help. After this, immediately contact the nearest Indian embassy or consulate.
All embassies have an emergency helpdesk that guides Indian citizens in such situations. You can call them, send them an email or contact them through social media. From there, you can get legal advice, medical support and a translator if you have a language problem.

Tell them clearly what happened, and after giving full information, keep the necessary documents safe. Which will be useful for your claim. These include police report, medical bill, hospital slip, whatever you have.
