Missing Infosys techie's brother searches for him in Brussels' burn wards
Bengaluru: It's the most grisly, the most heart-rending of tasks. Missing Infosys techie Raghavendran Ganeshan's brother Chandrashekhar has arrived in Brussels and is working with Indian embassy officials, going from one hospital to the other, looking to see if his brother is among the dead, or the living. Some 300 people survived the metro blast, and Chandrshekhar must grit his teeth as he walks through the wards, looking at the charred and the burnt, to see if his brother is one of them. Or not.
The last phone call that Ganeshan, who went missing in Brussels, minutes after Tuesday's deadly terror strike, made has been tracked to a metro rail in the Belgian capital, the external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj said.
