Georgia, USA: Eleven Indian nationals tragically lost their lives in Gudauri, a mountain resort in Georgia, as confirmed by the Indian Embassy. Initial investigations by Georgia's Ministry of Internal Affairs revealed no signs of visible injuries or violence.
Reports from local media, citing police sources, indicate that the deaths resulted from carbon monoxide poisoning. The victims, all employees of an Indian restaurant, were discovered in bedrooms situated on the second floor of the establishment.
Authorities have launched an investigation under Article 116 of Georgia's Criminal Code, which pertains to negligent manslaughter cases. Preliminary findings suggest that a power generator installed in a confined space near the sleeping area may have been used during a power outage on Friday night, leading to the tragic incident.
A forensic medical examination has been mandated to identify the exact cause of death. Investigators are currently analyzing the scene, gathering evidence, and questioning those connected to the case to uncover further details.
