Body of Indian man killed in Sharjah repatriated, consulate says

The body of an Indian man who was killed in Sharjah months ago has been returned to his home country, according to the Indian consulate. Police in Sharjah revealed that their investigation into the circumstances of his death has provided the answers they were seeking. The Indian mission in the UAE registered the death, and the consulate was in communication with the victim’s family and employer to provide any necessary assistance.

Sharjah Police stated, in a late Friday statement, that they had received a report of a death believed to be the result of a criminal act. Special teams were dispatched to the scene, and the victim's body was subsequently sent to the forensic laboratory as ordered by the Public Prosecution. The Criminal Investigations Department's inquiry led to legal action being taken against the suspects, with the case being referred to prosecutors to conclude the necessary legal procedures.

The police statement also dispelled rumors circulating in Indian media that the victim's wife and son had gone missing following the incident. The investigation confirmed that the couple had left the UAE for their home country, and there were no missing-person reports filed for either of them. The General Directorate of Sharjah Police stressed the significance of obtaining information from official sources, verifying accuracy before disseminating news, and refraining from publishing unverified information, as this could lead to misinformation and potentially impact legal proceedings.

The police advised the public and media to rely solely on official channels for accurate information.
