In a tragic incident, a 53-year-old Indian expat, residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), lost her life in a car accident while returning from an Eid staycation.

The deceased has been identified as Sajinabanu C, a native of Marikkunnu in Kozhikode district in the Indian state of Kerala. She is survived by her husband, and two sons.

As per multiple media reports, on Monday, March 31, Sajinabanu travelled to Al Ain for a holiday with relatives and friends.
