Repatriated Indian Passes Away
TDT | Manama
Maniprasad Adkadkam, the former Bahrain resident whose repatriation last year drew island-wide community support, passed away yesterday in Kerala, India.
Hailing from Kasargod, he had been suffering from multiple severe health conditions, including cardiac failure, renal dysfunction, and acute gout, when he was rescued from a legal and medical deadlock in Bahrain.
His return to India in November last year had been hailed as a humanitarian success, made possible through a coordinated campaign of legal aid, diplomatic intervention, and grassroots mobilisation.

Maniprasad's case was championed by the Pravasi Legal Cell (PLC) Bahrain Chapter with the legal guidance of Advocate Tariq Alown. T, which resulted in the lifting of three travel bans, including one imposed by a Kerala court, after intense legal proceedings in Bahrain.
His Excellency Vinod K. Jacob, Ambassador of India to Bahrain, and officials at the Indian Embassy had also lent their support, working in tandem with civil society organisations to bring the case to a compassionate resolution.
