Hyderabad, India – December 2, 2025 – Mohammed Abdul Shoaib, the sole survivor of a devastating bus accident in Madina, Saudi Arabia, has returned to Hyderabad. He arrived aboard an Indigo flight at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday morning, where he was greeted by emotional family members.
The tragic incident, involving a bus carrying Umrah pilgrims and an oil tanker, claimed the lives of 45 people. Shoaib recounted that the bus was struck from behind while stopped to allow a passenger to use the restroom. He managed to escape the burning vehicle after his clothes caught fire.
“It all happened in five minutes,” Shoaib told reporters at his Jhirra home. He expressed gratitude to various government officials and community leaders for their support.
