Abu Dhabi: The body of a 22-year-old Indian sailor has been lying in a mortuary in Sharjah for two weeks and his family is still in the dark about their son’s sudden demise, XPRESS has learnt.
“We do not know what happened to him. He was supposed to come home on October 3. His company has not even bothered to inform us about his death until now,” Ravi Selvam, brother of deceased Anbarasu Selvam told XPRESS over the phone from Chennai, India.
According to the family, Anbarasu joined the ship Al Majed H under the Dubai-based company Majeed Al Bazony Shipping as a trainee marine engineer on May 14. He was employed on a one-year contract.
Anbarasu informed his family on October 2 evening that he was going to Chennai on an Air Arabia flight from Sharjah the following morning.
“That was the last we heard from him. He was already at Sharjah Airport, but sounded very disturbed. He told me the company was sending him back due to some health reasons,” said Selvam.
The family grew worried when Anbarasu did not arrive in India, and he remained unreachable on his phone. On October 6, a friend of Anbarasu in Dubai informed them that he had passed away at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Sharjah.
