Indian diplomats continue search for missing Infosys employee in Brussels
New Delhi, Mar 24 (IBNS): Indian diplomats in Brussels are continuing the search for the Infosys employee who has been missing in since Tuesday's deadly terror attacks in the Belgiums' capital.
Earlier in the day, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted that the missing employee was "travelling in the metro" when he made his last call.
Raghavendran Ganesh, originally from Bangalore, has been working for four years in the Belgian capital. His brother has reached Brussels and is being assisted by the embassy there to locate Ganesh, the Foreign Minister said.
Nearly 30 people died and close to 300 were injured after the Brussels airport and a metro station were bombed. Two brothers carried out the suicide bombings at the airport and metro, Belgian officials said. A massive search is being carried out to find the third suspect.
Two Indians working for Jet Airways - Nidhi Chaphekar and Amit Motwani - were injured in the explosion at the airport. They are recovering in hospital.
The Foreign Minister tweeted on Wednesday that she has been in direct touch with Ganesh's mother in Bengaluru, who reportedly last spoke to the Infosys worker an hour before the terror attacks.
