SRINAGAR: In a tragic road accident reported in Dubai, Kashmir’s business tycoon Rashid Mir lost his daughter. Not many details are immediately known.
Gulf News reported that a man and two women were killed when their car caught fire after a four-vehicle smash on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai on Wednesday afternoon. The accident happened when the victims’ vehicle halted due to another traffic accident on the road and another vehicle crashed into their car from behind which caused the blaze, the newspaper quoted Brigadier Adel Al Suwaidi, Director of Jebel Ali Police station, detailing the development.
“The command centre received the emergency call at 4:40 pm on Wednesday about an accident between four cars. Police patrols and ambulances went to the area. One of the cars burned and the passengers died inside the car,” Al Suwaidi told the newspaper. He said all the three were Asians.
Diaspora sources told Kashmir Life that the dead include Mir’s daughter and her staff including her driver and aid.
Mir is the promoter of the Cottage Industries Exposition Limited (CIE) that runs handicraft stores across India and select places abroad. His only son was killed in a tragic incident earlier. The dead lady identified as Sabeha Mir who was living in London had earlier separated from her husband. She is survived by a son. Mir’s other daughter, Tabasum, is a medical doctor and lives in Srinagar.
