Mumbai Engineer Stranded in Moscow Amid US-Iran Tensions, Cries for Help
•Sunil Gupta, a Mumbai engineer, is stranded at Moscow International Airport with no cash, food, or water, due to flight cancellations amid US-Iran tensions.
•He claims Etihad Airways and MakeMyTrip abandoned him, with no support or rebooking options, and Russia's non-acceptance of Visa/Mastercard exacerbating his plight.
•Gupta shared an emotional video and social media post, highlighting the lack of humanity and support from the airline and booking platform.
•His plea garnered attention from Indian political leaders, with AAP leader Ruben Mascarenhas contacting the Indian Embassy in Russia for assistance.
•Middle East airspace disruptions have led to thousands of flight cancellations, with special departures now arranged for stranded passengers.
