Hyderabad: In a tragic incident, a 27-year-old man from Telangana’s Karimnagar was found dead in Saudi Arabia’s Rub’ al Khali desert. According to media reports, he died of dehydration and exhaustion on Thursday.
The deceased has been identified as Mohammad Shehzad Khan who had been working in Saudi Arabia for three years with a telecommunications company.
Khan met the tragic fate after he found himself stranded in the desolate and perilous Empty Quarter part of the desert, one of the most dangerous regions in the world.
Spanning over 650 kilometres, the Rub’ al Khali is known for its harsh conditions and stretches across Saudi Arabia’s southern regions and into neighbouring countries.
The tragedy unfolded when Shehzad, accompanied by a Sudanese national, lost track of his way after GPS signal failed, his phone battery died, and his vehicle ran out of fuel, leaving him stranded in the desert for nearly four days.
On Thursday, their bodies were found on a prayer rug next to their car.
The duo tried their best to survive in temperatures that soared to extreme levels, but they died due to severe dehydration and exhaustion.
Rub Al-Khali is one of the most dangerous desert in the world as it often leads to dehydration and death when vehicles break down or signals are lost.
