The fate of 17 Indian nationals, who were in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir when the October 8 earthquake struck, was still not known, Minister of State for External Affairs E Ahamed told Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Out of the 54 Indian passengers who were on the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus on the day of the quake, 36 have returned, he said in a written reply.

While the death of one person has been confirmed, the fate of the remaining 17 people is not known, he said.
