Two men from Telangana were killed, and a third was injured in an attack at a bakery in Dubai, allegedly by a Pakistani national who was shouting religious slogans. The family members of the victims shared the details on Tuesday.

Ashtapu Premsagar, 35, from Soan village in Nirmal district, was killed with a sword on April 11, according to his uncle, A Poshetty. The attack took place at the bakery where the victims were employed. Premsagar had been working at the bakery for the past five to six years. He last visited his family two years ago, according to Poshetty. Premsagar is survived by his wife and two children. His family has not yet been informed about the tragedy, Poshetty said. He also appealed to the government to assist in bringing Premsagar's body back to India and to support his family, as they are in a poor financial situation.

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy confirmed that the second person who died was named Srinivas and was from Nizamabad district. A third person, Sagar, was injured in the attack and is currently in the hospital, according to his wife, Bhavani, who spoke to reporters in Nizamabad district. Reddy expressed his sadness over the killings and mentioned that he had spoken to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to seek assistance in bringing their bodies back to India.

"Deeply shocked by the brutal killing of two Telugu youth from Telangana in Dubai, Ashtapu Premsagar from Nirmal district and Srinivas from Nizamabad district. Spoke to Hon'ble External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar ji on the matter and he has assured full support to the bereaved families, and the urgent repatriation of the mortal remains," Reddy said in a post on X. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) will make efforts to ensure quick justice in this matter, and the speaker thanked Jaishankar for his assistance.

Union Minister of State for Home, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, expressed his sorrow and mentioned that he had spoken with MEA officials. He also stated that officials from the Union Home Ministry were in contact with them. "Deeply saddened by the tragic killing of Shri Ashtapu Prem Sagar and Shri Srinivas, both workers from Telangana, who were brutally attacked by a Pakistani national at Modern Bakery LLC in Dubai during working hours on 11 April," he said on X.
