Manzoor Ahmed, the Indian national killed in Kuwait on Wednesday, was travelling to his hometown in Madhya Pradesh to join his family for his nephew’s wedding when an Iranian drone struck the Kuwait International Airport. The attack marked one of the most serious spillovers affecting civilians and foreign workers in the Gulf since the latest escalation between Iran and the United States. Unfulfilled plans for a devastated family Ahmed, 55, was a resident of Ujjain district and was scheduled to board a flight from Kuwait on Wednesday around 7:30pm. The flight was destined for Mumbai, from where Ahmed would have boarded a train for his hometown, PTI reported. The report added that his family was planning to welcome him at the railway station. Ahmed, who worked for nearly 30 years as a tailor in Kuwait, spoke with his 18-year-old son, Anas Ahmed, on Tuesday but was unaware that it would turn out to be his last conversation. Ambassador Paramita Tripathi visited the Indian nationals who were injured in the attack on the Airport and are being treated at various hospitals in Kuwait.
