Unaizah, Al-Qassim Province – A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded in the Al-Qassim Province of Saudi Arabia, where an Indian couple has been found dead in their home. The deceased have been identified as Sharath, 40, and his 32-year-old wife, Preethi, both originally from Kadakkal in Kollam, Kerala. Sharath, who had been working as an electrician and plumber in Unaizah for several years, had recently brought his wife Preethi to the Kingdom just two months ago in hopes of starting their life together. The couple’s lifeless bodies were discovered after Sharath's employer raised concerns upon his absence from work. According to a report by the Kerala daily Mathrubhumi, the alarming situation came to light when Sharath's employer visited their residence after failing to make contact.
After several attempts to open the door were unsuccessful, the police were called to intervene. Upon entering the home, authorities found Sharath hanging in the room, while Preethi was discovered unresponsive on the floor. The circumstances surrounding the couple’s deaths remain unclear, with investigators yet to determine if financial troubles or personal disagreements may have played a role in this tragic event. The community is left in shock, mourning the loss of the couple who had only recently begun their journey together in a foreign land. As authorities continue their investigation, family members and friends back in India are seeking answers and grappling with this tragic news. The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia has been notified and is likely to assist in any further inquiries regarding the case. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the challenges faced by expatriates living abroad and the importance of community support during difficult times.
