A man from Karnataka was discovered dead in nine pieces in the United Arab Emirates. His relatives said he had sent messages saying he felt unwell before the body was sent back to India.
Police in the United Arab Emirates have recovered the remains of a Karnataka resident in a severely dismembered condition, with the body split into nine separate parts. The discovery has sparked a criminal investigation, as authorities try to determine how and why the man was killed.
According to family members, the deceased had been in contact with them shortly before his death, sending messages that he was feeling unwell. Those messages have added to the confusion surrounding the case, as no clear motive or suspect has been identified.
The fragmented remains were subsequently handed over to Indian consular officials, who arranged for the body to be repatriated to India for final rites. The Karnataka police are now coordinating with their UAE counterparts to gather forensic evidence and trace the circumstances that led to the gruesome killing.
Investigators have appealed for anyone with information about the man's movements in the UAE to come forward, emphasizing that the case remains open and that the identity of those responsible is still unknown.
