A man from Udupi district in Karnataka was allegedly murdered in Sharjah, UAE, in July, according to his brother. Alwin, who had been working in the UAE, was last heard from around July 20. Messages on his phone suggested he was unwell, but his family grew suspicious as he typically used voice notes. After questioning him, they found he wouldn't respond to their calls.
The family then approached a classmate in Sharjah who visited Alwin's apartment; a watchman allegedly told the classmate that Alwin had left for India. Later, the family's passport records confirmed Alwin was still in the UAE. Alwin's body was discovered on August 12 inside the boot of his abandoned Toyota car on a road heading towards Oman.
He was found to have been stabbed in the chest and his body had been cut into nine pieces and placed in two bags. Alwin's identity was confirmed through DNA matching with a sample from his son, who is currently studying in Class 10 in Dubai. Alwin had been married to Tina Kundar for about 20 years, and the couple has a son in Dubai.
The family has been unable to contact Tina or their son. CCTV footage reportedly showed two men and a woman moving luggage from the apartment, but the family does not have definitive information on whether Tina had been questioned by UAE police. The family has approached Tina's native place and is preparing to file complaints regarding her disappearance.
They have also lodged a complaint with the Udupi Town police station and met with the Udupi Superintendent of Police. The Udupi police have not yet received official confirmation from Sharjah Police or the Indian Embassy/Consulate in the UAE regarding the incident.
