New Delhi: An Infosys employee from Bengaluru Raghavendran Ganesh has been missing in Brussels, the company said here on Wednesday.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the Indian Embassy in Brussels was trying to trace Ganesh.

“We are doing our best to locate Raghavendran Ganesh,” the External Affairs Minister tweeted.

“Two Jet Airways crew members Nidhi Chaphekar and Amit Motwanai, who were injured in the explosions that rocked Brussels' Zaventem airport are recovering well,” the External Affairs Minister said.

In her tweet, the Union Minister said, "I have just spoken to Manjeev Puri, our Ambassador in Brussels. He has informed me that Nidhi and Amit are both recovering well."

Meanwhile, Infosys said it was in touch with Ganesh’s family and working with Indian Embassy and local authorities in Brussels to locate the missing employee.

A series of explosions ripped through Brussels airport and a metro train on Tuesday, killing around 35 people and injuring more than 200 in the latest attacks to rock Europe.

Brussels airport serves as Jet Airways' European hub for international operations. The airline had, however, recently announced relocation of this gateway to Dutch capital Amsterdam from coming Sunday.
