Indian twins, toddler nephew killed in Fujairah crash to be buried in UAE

The 21-year-old Indian twins and their three-year-old nephew who died in Wednesday night’s car-truck crash in Fujairah will be laid to rest in the UAE, according to local media.

Reports identified the victims as Mohamed Asmil Siddique, his twin sister Misna Jubin Siddique and their nephew Muhammed Faiz, the son of their elder sister Farsana.

The twins were the children of Siddique, who is originally from Kundilappara in Kunnumpuram, near Vengara in Kerala’s Malappuram district.

The Indian Consulate in Dubai confirmed that Indian nationals were among those killed. It expressed condolences to the bereaved families and said it was coordinating with local authorities to provide the necessary assistance to relatives.

According to local media, the family had gathered in Sharjah, where Siddique’s wife Amina has a sister. The crash occurred on the return journey after a child was dropped off at the family’s residence there.

Asmil was driving. Amina, Farsana and Farsana’s two other children were also in the car, the reports said.

The twins had studied in the same class through Grade 10 before moving to the UAE to join their father. They later attended the same online college, with Asmil pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration and Misna studying for a Bachelor of Computer Applications, according to local reports.

They were two of Siddique’s four children. His eldest son, Ajmal, works as a pharmacist in Fujairah.

Farsana also lives in Fujairah with her husband Mohammed Fasil, who belongs to the Nalakath family in Cheruvannur, Feroke, in Kerala’s Kozhikode district.

Siddique has lived and worked in the UAE for several years. He is the son of T.K. Moideen Kutty, a retired teacher and Muslim League leader from Kunnumpuram in AR Nagar, local media reported.

Moideen Kutty has three children, including Siddique, and lives with his youngest son’s family in a joint household. Reports said he has health problems, including memory loss.

The deaths have left the family and members of the expatriate community in mourning.
