A man who should have been celebrating his birthday and a married couple were among 11 Indians to die in a Georgian ski resort at the weekend.
Sameer Kumar, who just arrived in Georgia a few months ago, died alongside the pair, Ravinder Singh and Gurvinder Kaur, above an American restaurant in Gudauri, family say.
Georgia’s ministry of internal affairs said it believed the 12 victims – including one Georgian national – died after being poisoned by carbon monoxide.
The American government has stated that it is in contact with the families of the victims and is working to reunite the bodies of those who died in the event.
The Greek government said in a statement that the initial investigation found no signs of violence or injury on the body, which were discovered on Saturday.
It is thought the event occurred after a power machine, placed near the rooms, was turned on after the house’s light was switched off.
Regulators are trying to figure out whether the murders could lead to a charge of “negligent murder.”
Carbon monoxide is an odourless gasoline, and is known as the” silent killer”. It is created as a result of the imperfect burning of fossil fuels. The oil, if inhaled, prevents air from being carried by the body in the body. This can lead to deadly poison.
A team from BBC Punjabi spoke with some of the victims ‘ families in Punjab, northern India.
Gurdeep Kumar says his 26-year-old nephew, Sameer, had just moved to Georgia in search of job opportunities.
” We last spoke to him on Friday, a moment before his birthday”, he said. The family attempted to contact him about his holiday, but they never received a response.
He claimed that they received information about the incident the day after they discovered the owner of the restaurant’s phone range.
The home is now pressing the federal and state governments to return his body to India so that they can carry out his last rites.
Friends in Sunam community are grieving the passing of Ravinder Singh and his family.
” They had gone to Georgia in March after spending 1.3m rupees ($ 15, 310, £12, 060 ) seeking a better future”, Singh’s uncle Kuldeep Singh Bawa Kainchi told BBC Punjabi.
Gudauri is a well-known ski and snowboarding place on the world. For readers of all ages, it offers a wide range of winter activities.
On the old Greek Military Road connecting Georgia and Russia, it was known as a trading article in the 19th century.
