Three members of an Indian family, including 21-year-old twin siblings and their three-year-old nephew, were killed in a tragic multi-vehicle road accident in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, on Thursday. The deceased were identified as Mohammed Asmil, his twin sister Misna Jubin and three-year-old Mohammed Faiz, all natives of Vengara in Kerala’s Malappuram district. The accident occurred shortly after midnight on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street near the Fujairah Court House when a truck collided with several vehicles as the family was returning home after visiting relatives in Sharjah. Four other family members sustained injuries and are reported to be out of danger.

According to reports, the victims’ father, Siddique, said his son was driving the car at the time of the collision. His wife, elder daughter and two grandchildren survived the crash with injuries. The twin siblings had moved to the UAE after completing their Class 10 education in Kerala and were pursuing higher studies there. They had recently visited their hometown and were planning to return to Kerala after completing their education. The tragic incident has left their family and relatives in deep shock.

The Indian Consulate in Dubai expressed grief over the loss of lives and said it was coordinating with local authorities to provide all possible assistance to the affected family. Fujairah Police confirmed that emergency teams, including ambulance and Civil Defence personnel, responded immediately, shifted the injured to hospitals and secured the accident site. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the collision, while the UAE Ministry of Interior has urged the public not to circulate rumours and to rely only on official updates regarding the incident.
