Thomas Gabriel Perera, 47, from Kerala, was shot dead by Jordanian security forces while attempting to enter Israel illegally on February 10. His family claims he was lured by a fraudulent job offer promising ₹3.5 lakh monthly. Upon arriving in Jordan, he found no job and was advised to cross into Israel. His brother-in-law Edison Charlas, who was injured and imprisoned for 18 days, was later deported to India. Perera’s body remains in Jordan, with India's foreign ministry working on repatriation. MP Shashi Tharoor confirmed the process is underway.
