‘Bajaj Allianz asked for a hefty premium, but became evasive after cousin’s death’

After extensive paperwork and coordination with the Indian embassy, ​​Arfath’s remains were eventually returned to India for his last rites. I was at the center of this entire process, liaising with the authorities, the FBI and embassy officials, who offered all kinds of support in our grief. But for my uncle, Mohammed Saleem, the loss was excessive. He had lost his only son, with no clear answers as to why.

After the funeral, I continued to pursue the authorities for details about the circumstances of Arfath’s death.

I even recently contacted Cleveland Police to inquire if there had been any further developments in the case, but the investigating officer told me that as of their end the case was “officially closed.”
