Bengaluru/New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj posted on Twitter on Thursday that the missing Infosys employee Raghavendran Ganesan, after the terror strikes in Brussels, had made a last call to his mother Annapoorni in Mumbai while travelling on a metro rail, just an hour before blasts rocked the capital of Belgium.

Sushma tweeted, “We have tracked his last call in Brussels. He was travelling in the metro rail.”

Swaraj had on Wednesday posted a picture of Ganesan and sought help to locate the IT professional.

Manjeev Singh Puri, India’s ambassador to Belgium, has been in touch with police in Brussels to trace Ganesan.

A Twitter user replied to External Affairs Minister saying that Ganesan marked himself “safe” on Tuesday. Swaraj asked Puri to assess the information.

Ganesan’s brother reached Brussels on Thursday and met Puri. The embassy officials accompanied Raghavendran’s brother to hospital to look for him. “Amb Puri met brother (of) Raghavendran & assured him all help and support. Our Embassy officers are with him2help locate Raghavendran,” Embassy of India in Brussels posted on Twitter.
