In a tragic road accident in Kenya, five Indian nationals from Qatar lost their lives while several others sustained injuries. The victims were part of a group of 28 Indian tourists who were travelling through the Nyandarua region in northeastern Kenya on Monday, June 9. Their tour bus, carrying 32 people including three guides and the driver, reportedly skidded on a rain-soaked road, rammed into a tree, and overturned while en route to Nyahururu Town, where the group had plans to stay at the Panari Hotel.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene, supported initially by local residents who helped pull out trapped passengers. The injured were immediately transported to nearby hospitals. Visuals shared on social media showed the overturned vehicle with bystanders and rescue personnel at the location. The Indian High Commission in Nairobi is actively involved in assisting the victims, while the Indian Embassy in Qatar confirmed its coordination efforts with local Kenyan authorities and Indian community groups, including ICC and ICBF, to extend all possible help.

The Indian Embassy in Qatar issued a statement on Tuesday, June 10, offering condolences and confirming the support efforts. “We extend our sincere condolences to the families and friends of those who have sadly passed away,” the statement read. For assistance or more information, the embassy can be contacted at +974 55097295. The embassy is closely monitoring the situation and ensuring that affected families are informed and supported throughout the process.
