A total of 12 Indians were killed in the horrific bus crash in Al Rashidiya that claimed 17 lives on Thursday, June 6. Four Indians were discharged after receiving treatment in Rashid Hospital.
According to the latest update, death certificates of seven Indian accident victims were issued by Friday evening. Five certificates will be issued tomorrow, said social workers handling the case.
Police said that the accident happened when the Omani bus driver was just a minute away from dropping the passengers near the Rashidya Metro station. The driver wrongly entered the place allocated for cars and crashed into a signboard near Al Rashidiya metro station. The driver, who has sustained critical injuries, said during questioning that he couldn't see the warning signage as he had put a curtain on his windshield to protect his eyes from the sun.
Consul general of India to Dubai Vipul has confirmed the total death toll of Indians in the accident has risen to 12. "We have confirmed 12 Indian deaths in total," he told Khaleej Times. "Our teams have been working with the respective Dubai government departments to ensure paperwork is completed as soon as possible." Repatriations of bodies are expected to begin tomorrow, day after tomorrow, said Vipul.
Vipul told Khaleej Times officers from the CGI are taking all necessary steps to ensure repatriation formalities of all victims are completed as soon as possible. "Our officers are posted at Al Baraha Hospital and Al Rashidiya Police Station. Once death certificates are issued, the bodies will be sent for embalming and other procedures," he said. Social worker Naseer Vatanappally is working with the Consulate to complete formalities relating to issue of death certificates.
