Giri was among the 45 Indians who lost their lives in the Kuwait fire.

At least 49 people were killed in the blaze in the Al-Mangaf building on June 12 and majority of them were Indians; the remaining were Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian and Nepali nationals.

The building in southern Kuwait's Mangaf area housed around 195 migrant workers.

Giri is survived by his wife Priyanka, 14-year-old daughter Mehak and 11-year-old son Manat.

The 35-year-old had gone to Kuwait to work as a welder/assistant so that he could support his family and give a good education to his children.

An Indian Air Force (IAF) flight carrying the mortal remains of the Indians, who died in the tragic fire incident in Kuwait two days ago, landed at the international airport at Kochi on Friday.

India had on Thursday night sent a military transport aircraft to Kuwait to bring back the mortal remains of over 40 Indians killed in the fire.
