For the past one week, 19-year-old Abin has been knocking on all doors for help to bring the body of his father, killed in an accident on June 10 in Saudi Arabia, back home to Thiruvananthapuram.
He reached the venue of the open forum on ‘Immigration: Expectations and Challenges’ organised as part of the third Loka Kerala Sabha without much expectations.
During the interactive session, he appealed to NRI businessman M.A. Yusuff Ali to help him as it had been three-and-a-half years since he last met his father. “I have contacted NoRKA Roots and the Indian embassy in Saudi Arabia to get his body back. Embassy officials informed me that post-mortem examination has been performed and the body is in the morgue for the past few days as nobody was there to receive it.”
