Stranded cancer patient returns
An Indian expat, who had been stranded in the Kingdom due to the misuse of his passport by somebody, reached his home on Tuesday night. Prompt action by immigration authorities and the Indian Embassy paved the way for his return to his homeland.
Abubakkar had been residing illegally in Bahrain for almost one-and-a-half years and recently he was diagnosed with tongue cancer. But he could not travel back home as someone had already travelled using his passport.
Finally, Abubakkar approached Indian Embassy, seeking help to go back to India. Subsequently, the embassy issued him an outpass. But when he contacted the immigration department, he came to know about the misuse of his passport.
Meanwhile, he underwent treatment at Salmaniya Medical Complex. Members of Cancer Care Group Bahrain helped him for his treatment and Indian Community Relief Fund members had been supporting him to clear his immigration formalities.
The immigration authorities asked the sponsor of Abubakkar to meet them. The ICRF members immediately contacted the sponsor, who responded positively by approaching the immigration authorities.
Thus, the positive approach of the sponsor as well as the cooperation helped in clearing the path of Abubakkar to travel home. Meanwhile, NORKA cell of Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam sponsored his flight ticket .
