Silchar: A 44-year-old man from Assam’s Karimganj district passed away under mysterious circumstances in Muscat, Oman, on Wednesday. The deceased, Kausar Ahmed, hailed from Banugram, East Kanishail, in Karimganj district.
According to information gathered from the deceased’s family members and other sources, Kausar had been residing in Muscat, the capital of Oman, for the past few years, where he worked at an eatery. On Wednesday morning, tragedy struck when he collapsed while bathing in the bathroom. The homeowner, upon hearing the commotion, rushed to the bathroom, only to find Kausar lying unconscious on the floor.
After Kausar failed to respond, the homeowner managed to open the door and immediately rushed him to a local hospital. Kausar was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where he tragically succumbed around 8:30 am. While the exact cause of death remains unknown, it is suspected to be due to a cardiac arrest. Formalities are underway in Muscat to repatriate Kausar’s body to Banugram.
Kausar’s family members revealed that he had last contacted them via phone on Tuesday night, extending Eid greetings. He had also made a video call to see his seven-day-old daughter and other children that same night.
The news of Kausar’s demise has enveloped Banugram in sorrow. A large number of people visited his residence on Wednesday afternoon to offer condolences to the grieving family. Former minister Abu Saleh Najmuddin, along with several political leaders and local residents, expressed their condolences and prayed for the departed soul’s peace.
Kausar is survived by his mother, wife, son, three daughters (including the newborn girl), two brothers, one sister, and numerous other relatives.
