Indian student found dead in Ohio; family appeals for repatriation

In a dramatic move, Mohamed Abdul Arfath, a person indigenous to Hyderabad, India, was found dead in the state of Ohio in the United States. The Consulate of India in New York is the source of this sad news, as the family is totally devastated and is praying for the execution of the government as quickly as possible to repatriate their son’s dead body to India.

Mr. Mohammed Saleem, the father of the deceased, expressed the agony he experienced when the police summoned him on March 7 to go to Mbuzi market to file a report on a missing person. The grieving father could hardly imagine that it would only be hours later before the devastating call of failure in the mission of bringing his son back. Plagued by grief, he articulated to both the state and the Centre his son’s importance, pleading for the return of his son’s body so he can bury him – which is the closure he needs to put his bereavement to a rest.

In turn, the Consulate General of India in New York conveyed their sincere condolences to the bereaved family, expressing their steady, relevant support. They (local authorities) are in the process of coordinating with other entities to conduct thorough research to know the conditions that led to Mohammed Abdul Arfath’s death.

This unforeseen event consequently constitutes another tragedy in the list of peculiar examples in the context of the same. It underlines the striking point about the enlarged awareness of safety standards and support systems as one of the significant focus areas for ensuring the well-being of Indian students who are passionate about making their dreams come true abroad.

Besides, I need to point out that the information I wrote here is based on the available content in September 2021, and it is possible that new information and details will be added to this event later on.
