The incident occurred after a power outage on Dec.13, during which a power generator was placed in a closed indoor space near the bedrooms. It is believed that the generator’s use led to the accumulation of toxic levels of carbon monoxide in the area.
The Indian mission in Tbilisi expressed its profound sorrow and extended condolences to the families of the deceased. The mission confirmed that it was working closely with Georgian authorities to facilitate the swift repatriation of the bodies and provide support to the bereaved families.
In response to the tragedy, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs has launched an investigation under Article 116 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which pertains to negligent manslaughter. Forensic experts are conducting a detailed examination to determine the precise cause of death, while interviews with individuals connected to the case are ongoing.
