In a social media post, the Indian mission expressed its “deepest condolences on the tragic demise of an Indian national in Riyadh due to recent events on March 18th”.

The circumstances regarding the Indian national’s death are not clear.

The embassy said that it is in contact with the deceased's family and local authorities. “We remain committed to extending all possible assistance in this matter,” it added.

A day earlier, the Indian embassy said alerts were received by residents in Riyadh and some other regions on Wednesday. “The Indian community is advised to remain calm and composed,” it said.

“Please adhere strictly to the guidelines and instructions issued by Saudi authorities. Rely only on verified information shared by the authorities through official channels such as @SaudiDCD and other authorised government handles,” it said.
