Indian Engineer Dies During Scuba Diving Session In Dubai
An Indian civil engineer has died in the UAE while undergoing a scuba diving session during the Eid Al Adha holidays. The 29-year-old man, identified as Issac Paul Olakkengil, was in Dubai with his family when he took the session at Jumerah Beach on Friday (Jun 6), according to a report in Khaleej Times. Hailing from the southern Indian state of Kerala, Mr Olakkengil was enjoying the holidays alongside his wife, Resham and younger brother, Ivin when the tragedy struck. Mr Olakkengil suffered a cardiac arrest after experiencing difficulty breathing underwater. As per David Pyarilos, Mr Olakkengil's uncle, who is overseeing the legal procedure for the family, the incident took place during a training session at a designated scuba diving area. Both Reshma and Ivin were also receiving training when the situation took a turn for the worse. "It seems they were getting trained for scuba diving, and apparently, he [Issac] couldn't breathe properly and moved away from the pack," said Mr Pyarilos. "So, everyone panicked and was impacted underwater. I was told Reshma was rescued to the shore first, followed by the other two." Investigation underway While Mr Olakkengil was rushed to the hospital, where he could not be saved, his brother, Ivin, collapsed on reaching the hospital and is currently under observation. Mr Pyarilos confirmed that he was out of danger, but doctors were keeping close tabs on him. "All of them are engineers. While Issac and Reshma are in Dubai, Ivin is based in Abu Dhabi. Ivin's friends just told me they are concerned about breaking this heart-wrenching news to him, as the brothers shared a strong bond," said Pyarilos. Ivin was only informed about his brother's death on Saturday, while the family works with the police to complete the investigation. The Dubai law enforcement officials have seized the equipment used during the scuba diving session to analyse it. Mr Olakkengil's dead body will be repatriated to India after receiving the necessary legal documents.

How An Indian Student In US Lost $5,000 To Fake Immigration Officers
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. An Indian student, Shreya Bedi, in the US was scammed by imposters posing as ICE agents, who coerced her into buying $5,000 in gift cards. Facing financial difficulties, she warns others about such scams and emphasises the importance of skepticism. An Indian student in the United States was duped by scammers pretending to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, reported Newsweek. Shreya Bedi, a Master's student at Indiana University Bloomington came to the United States in 2022 on an F-1 visa. She received the call on May 29th when the imposters said that she had violated immigration laws and forced her to purchase $5000 worth of gift cards as 'bond' payments in order to avoid arrest and deportation. "He gave me his name and badge number and told me to verify his office details by going to and looking up the office in Maryland. I could confirm it was the same phone number he was calling from," Bedi said. Subsequently, she received a second phone call from someone else posing as an officer from Olympia Police Department, and she was told not to disconnect the call as her phone was being monitored. They said that there was an arrest warrant for her. 'I felt completely trapped because they kept me on the phone for three hours straight, repeatedly warning me that hanging up or contacting anyone would violate my case and make things worse. I was too scared to risk it,' said Bedi. They had access to all her personal information - the Indian city she came from, how she entered the US and her academic records. "They had so many of my personal details that only official agencies would know," she said. The scammers directed her to buy Apple and Target gift cards worth $5000 and share the codes with them. They also said that a police officer would collect the cards and bond paper from her the next day but there was no follow-up. 'They put me through hours of psychological torture, making me believe I was going to be deported and arrested,' she added. Bedi is now facing a huge financial challenge as she is paying off student loans and now she has $5000 in debt. "I'm living alone in the U.S. with no family support. This money was supposed to help me stay afloat and plan my future here," she said. "It completely derailed my plans. This affects everything—my ability to save money, my timeline for either returning to India or applying for an H1B visa." She said that as an international student, it is difficult to understand how the system in the US works which makes them 'easy targets', she added, "I feel embarrassed that I fell for this, but I want others to learn from my mistake." Bedi is now trying to raise funds on GoFundMe and has cautioned other international students. 'You always have the right to hang up and call a lawyer, government agencies almost never call you directly; they send official mail,' she said. 'No legitimate government agency will ever ask for gift cards, bank details, or your Social Security number over the phone. If someone asks for any of these things, it's definitely a scam.' There has been a rise in reports of individuals impersonating ICE agents amid a ramp up in arrests across the country which have added to existing fears of law enforcement in the migrant community. On June 5th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained more than 2,200 people, according to a report by the NBC News, the most number of arrests in a single day.
