Abu Dhabi: An Indian couple from Telangana died in a road accident in Al Dhannah City, Abu Dhabi, on Thursday, leaving their three children injured.

The victims, identified as Syed Waheed and his wife, Sana Begum, had been living in the Al Dhafra region since Waheed began working in the cybersecurity sector in 2018.

Their children, aged four months, five years and 11 years, sustained varying injuries, with the infant reported to be in critical condition.

Family members sought assistance from the Indian Embassy to repatriate the couple’s bodies. Embassy officials fast-tracked the formalities on humanitarian grounds, enabling the bodies to be flown to India on Friday. They were buried in their hometown on Saturday.
