One Rescued, One Dead In Diving Tragedy Near King Fahd Causeway
A wide-scale search and rescue operation ended in both relief and heartbreak after two Bahraini citizens went missing at sea during a diving trip near the King Fahd Causeway. The two men set out on a diving trip aboard a small boat in the Sanni marine area around 1:30 PM on Tuesday. Concern arose when they failed to return, and a missing persons report was filed at approximately 2:30 AM on Wednesday. Search and rescue teams from both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were immediately mobilized. After several hours of intensive efforts, one of the divers, Aziz Naseeb, was found alive. He had spent many hours stranded in the water and was rushed to hospital for treatment. Thankfully, his condition is reported as stable. Tragically, the body of the second diver, Mohammed Ismail, 36, was recovered from the sea. Authorities confirmed his death and notified the Public Prosecution, which is now handling legal procedures related to the incident. The Ministry of Interior posted on its official account on platform X (formerly Twitter):'With the support of the Police Aviation and following a report from the operations room… the body of a 36-year-old diver was retrieved after he passed away while diving near the King Fahd Causeway.' Authorities continue to investigate the incident to understand its circumstances. They have urged all citizens and residents to strictly follow safety measures when planning sea trips — especially for diving and fishing — and to notify the relevant authorities in advance.

I want to congratulate him and all his teammates for making history. I just had a conversation with him, and he was very happy. I congratulated him, and I cannot wait for him to come back to India." Also, Siraj's friend, Irfan, told ANI, "It is a matter of great happiness to us that Siraj did so well. On this auspicious occasion, we are celebrating in Hyderabad. We have also got firecrackers for the celebration. I have not talked to him yet." Siraj kickstarted the match with a 4/86 in the first innings, bowling well in tandem with Prasidh Krishna to restrict England to 247 runs and allowing for a slight 23-run lead. Later, while defending 374, when England was on song at 301/4, he and Krishna once again bowled their hearts out, enabling India to bundle out England for 367 runs.
