PM condoles Infosys employee's death in Brussels attack

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his condolences to the family of Infosys employee Raghavendran Ganeshan, who was reported dead after he went missing since March 22 during the Brussels attacks.

‘A young life, full of hope and promise cut short by mindless violence. Condolences to family of Raghavendran,’ Modi tweeted on Tuesday.

The PM will also preside over a memorial service for Ganeshan and other victims of the attack during his stay in Brussels on Wednesday.

According to reports, Ganeshan's body was found by the Belgian authorities in the metro train at Molenbeek station -- where one of the bombs went off -- on Monday evening.

Blasts at the Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station killed more than 30 people last week.

Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, “He was a victim of the blast that took place in the metro at Maalbeek station in Brussels.”

Infosys, in a condolence message to the media, said, ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with Raghavendran’s family and with those who were injured or lost a loved one in these attacks.’
