An Indian worker, stranded at Bahrain International Airport (BIA) for four days after losing his passport, has finally gone home.
Sidhik Thajuddeem, a driver based in Dammam, landed at the airport from Saudi Arabia on Saturday and was supposed to board a connecting flight to Thiruvananthapuram.
However, he is believed to have lost his passport, cell phone and other documents at King Fahad International Airport after checking in - and was therefore unable to clear security in Bahrain.
Airport authorities informed Indian Embassy, which asked Octic International to issue new travel documents on his behalf.
"I met the worker and contacted his brother in India to send us Mr Thajuddeem's passport copy, to process his application for an emergency certificate," said Octic International general manager Fazal Haq.
