An Indian student died while two others were injured in a road accident in Kazakhstan's Oskemen, the Indian Embassy in Kazakhstan said on Tuesday.

In a statement on X, the embassy stated that 11 Indian students of Semey Medical University who were on an excursion trip to Altai Alps in East Kazakhstan from Oskemen City, met with an accident while they were returning. The deceased student has been identified as Mili Mohan, 25, while the two injured students are Ashika Sheejamini Santhosh and Jaseena B.

The duo are currently receiving medical treatment at City Hospital No. 1, Ust-Kamenagorsk, it said.

"As per the latest information, their condition is stable. The Embassy conveys its deepest condolences to the bereaved family of the deceased. The Embassy is in touch with the University, Hospital authorities and families," it added.

Last week, the Indian Embassy said that two Indian students died and three others suffered injuries in a road accident that occurred near Almaty on January 6.

In a statement shared on X, it said: "The Embassy is deeply saddened by the tragic road accident that occurred on 6 January 2026 near Almaty involving Indian students, in which two young lives were lost and three others sustained injuries. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and stand in solidarity with all those affected. The injured students are currently receiving medical care."

"The Embassy is in close coordination with hospital authorities, local officials, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure that all possible assistance is provided. Family members of the injured students have arrived in Kazakhstan and remain in close touch with the Embassy. We are working closely with the families and extending every possible support during this extremely difficult time. The Embassy is also making all necessary arrangements to repatriate the mortal remains of the two deceased students to India on a priority basis," it added.

The Indian mission expressed appreciation for the concern, prayers and goodwill expressed by friends, family and well-wishers. It mentioned that the embassy continues to coordinate closely with multiple agencies and families, and efforts are being made to prioritise critical and time-sensitive communications to ensure swift and effective assistance.

Another accident in Kazakhstan? This is the second one in a week! What is happening with the road safety there? Our government should have a serious talk with Kazakh authorities. These are our future doctors. So much potential lost.

As someone who has studied abroad, I know how vulnerable you can feel. The embassy's response seems coordinated, which is good. But universities organizing these trips must ensure proper transport and safety checks. Prayers for Ashika and Jaseena's speedy recovery.

Very sad news. May her soul rest in peace. I hope the injured students recover fully. The families must be going through hell. When will our students be safe? First in Ukraine, now in Kazakhstan. It's a worrying trend for parents sending kids overseas for education.

This is tragic. While the embassy is providing support, perhaps a mandatory safety briefing for all Indian students arriving in countries with different road conditions could help? A small step that might save lives. Thoughts are with all affected.

Om Shanti. Losing a young life like this is always a tragedy. The article mentions the embassy is coordinating repatriation—this is crucial for the family's closure. I hope the local hospital is providing good care. Get well soon to the injured students.
