Bengaluru, June 17 (UNI) Panic swept through Beheshti Shaheed University Medical College in Tehran after missiles reportedly landed just 15 km from the campus, driving the over 400 Indian students there into a state of fear and sleeplessness for three consecutive nights, before they were evacuated, with the help of the Indian Embassy, to the city of Qom.
“My son, Mir Nasir Hussain, could not sleep for three nights. He was extremely anxious. We were constantly in touch with him and shared the same stress here at home,” said Mir Faiyaz Ali, father of the MBBS student, speaking to a section of reporters on Tuesday.
The students, alarmed by the proximity of the missile attacks, lodged a collective complaint with the Vice Chancellor. “They told him that missiles were coming too close to the college area and that they could not sleep due to fear,” Ali said.
