Pradeep, father of 27-year-old Srihari who lived in the building that caught fire in Kuwait on Wednesday which resulted in 49 deaths, was able to identify the mortal remains of his son only from the tattoo on his hand.Pradeep said he was called by the authorities to identify his son’s body kept in a hospital mortuary.
“When I went there, I saw that the face was completely swollen and the nose was covered with soot. I was unable to identify him. I just could not.
“Then I told them that he has a tattoo on his hand. Based on that he was identified,” Pradeep, sobbing, told a Malayalam news channel in Kuwait on Thursday.
Srihari had just returned to Kuwait from Kerala last week on June 5.
