Dubai: The Dubai-based Al Hamid Siddique Shipping Company yesterday claimed no responsibility for the shocking incident in which an unidentified African woman’s body was sent by mistake to the distraught family of an Indian sailor. The sailor, Subodh Tewari, from Deoria district in Uttar Pradesh died 21 days ago on board the vessel MV Bahadur 101 while it was sailing off the coast of Dubai.
However, the Indian missions in Teheran condemned the statement of the shipping company saying that the shipping company was not responsible for the entire fiasco of repatriating a wrong body to the relatives of the deceased. The sailor was employed by Al Hamid Siddique Shipping Company in Dubai.
An official from Indian Embassy in Teheran
noted that an Indian Airlines aircraft which carried the body to India was also responsible to some extent for the incident. Meanwhile, the trauma for Tewari’s family is far from over. His family is still waiting for his body to be returned.
