In a post on X, the Embassy said, “In a tragic accident in Oskemen, a group of 11 Indian students from Semey Medical University, who were on an excursion trip to the Altai Mountains (East Kazakhstan), encountered an accident on their way back to Oskemen City.”
As a result of the incident, one student, Mili Mohan (DOB: April 17, 2000), died, while two other students—Ashika Sheejamini Santhosh and Jaseena B—sustained injuries. The injured students are receiving treatment at City Hospital No. 1 in Oskemen, and their condition is reported as stable.

The Altai Mountains, a striking mountain range in Central Asia, stretch across Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Known for dramatic scenery and towering peaks such as Mount Belukha, the region is rich in biodiversity and forms the source of major rivers, including the Ob and Irtysh. Parts of the Altai are recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage sites for their unique ecosystems and cultural value.
