Indian couple die in Abu Dhabi road crash; infant critical

Abu Dhabi: An Indian expat couple from Telangana died in a tragic road accident in Al Dhannah City, Abu Dhabi, on Thursday. The victims were identified as Syed Waheed and his wife, Sana Begum.

The couple’s three children – aged four months, five years, and 11 years – sustained injuries. Confirming the incident, a close relative shared that the baby is in critical condition.
“The children are still here in Abu Dhabi. The baby boy – the third child – is still in critical condition,” the relative said.

Embassy assists with repatriation

The cause of the accident remains unclear.

Waheed had reportedly been working in the cybersecurity sector since 2018, and the family had lived in the Al Dhafra region. Following the accident, relatives sought assistance from the Indian Embassy to repatriate the bodies. Embassy officials expedited the procedures on humanitarian grounds, enabling the bodies to be sent home on Friday. They were laid to rest on Saturday.
