Abey Abraham and the family learned the heartbreaking truth as Cibin’s sister identified his body in Kuwait

Cibin Abraham who lost his life in the Kuwait fire
For over thirty hours, Colaba resident Abey Abraham, 40, and his family prayed for a miracle, as they had no information about Cibin Abraham, 31, a resident of Kerala, who was reported missing after a fire broke out at a building in Kuwait, on June 12. Their prayers were unanswered when, on June 13 at 11 am, they learned that Cibin’s elder sister, Ceeba, 33, a nurse in Kuwait, had found and identified his body. She informed me that she was completing the forensic formalities,” said Abey.
Father, son worked for same company
According to Abey, “Cibin worked as a cashier with the NBTC group of companies for the last eight years and hailed from Keezhvaipur village in Pathanamthitta, Kerala. Interestingly, his father Mathia, alias Babu Abraham, also worked with the same company in Kuwait for eighteen years and had returned to Kerala two years ago after his retirement.”
