Relatives of a Kashmiri youth, who died in a road accident in Kuwait a few days ago, have appealed Indian government to help bring the deceased back home for last rites.
Ab Rashid Lone, 21, a resident of Dardpora village in Kupwara district was working in an oil company in Kuwait for past eight months. He died in a road accident last week, according to relatives. His body is lying at Saba hospital in Kuwait. Belonging to a poor family, Lone was father of two children.
“We came to know about this shocking news through a message on social media today. His body is still lying at a hospital there,” Abdul Rashid, a relative said.
“We appeal state as well as Indian government to help bring the deceased back home. His family is poor and cannot afford a huge travel expenditure needed to bring the deceased back home for last rites,” he added.
