KAMAREDDY: A 36-year-old man from Kamareddy, Shaikh Saeed, is reportedly among three Indians grievously injured in an attack at the international airport at Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
The Embassy of India in Riyadh said three persons remain in the ICU, two are undergoing treatment, and the remaining injured have been discharged.
In Kamareddy, Saeed’s family waits anxiously for updates on his condition after receiving information about his condition on Sunday night. Reports that the incident had left 13 people dead and around 300 injured heightened their concern, and they have since been trying to obtain further details by contacting relatives and acquaintances.
