A day after the Brussels terror attack that left two Indians injured, another Indian national, Raghavendran Ganesh, who hails from Bengaluru, is believed to have gone missing. Ganesh works for Infosys and there is no information about him ever since the deadly attack at the airport. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the Indian Embassy in Belgium is trying its best to locate him.
“We are doing our best to locate Raghavendran Ganesh. The airport is still not open. This may take some time,” Swaraj tweeted.
“I have just spoken to Manjeev Puri, our Ambassador in Brussels. He has informed me that Nidhi and Amit are both recovering well,” she said about the two injured Jet Airways employees.
Swaraj said the Government was coordinating with Jet Airways to evacuate Indian citizens. “We are coordinating with @jetairways on alternate plans to evacuate our citizens,” she added.
Following the attacks in Brussels, Infosys has reached out to all its employees in the city to ascertain their whereabouts and safety.
“With the exception of one employee who we are trying to reach, we have been able to connect with all other employees,” Infosys said in a statement adding that the company is in touch with missing employee’s family and is working with Indian Embassy/local authorities in Brussels to locate employee on priority.
Meanwhile, the two Indian Jet Airways employees who were injured in the attack on Tuesday are out of danger. “Nidhi & Amit, 2 Jet crew members injured in #brusselsattack r out of danger and are being attended by doctors &Embassy staff…I have just spoken to Manjeev Puri our Ambassador in Brussels. He has informed me that Nidhi and Amit are both recovering well,” Swaraj said on Twitter.
Indian passengers travelling by Jet Airways were shifted out to hotels after the airport was closed following the terror attack.
