Indian couple came to UAE in search of missing son, dead body found in place of son
Dubai (IANS). An Indian couple came to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in search of their missing son. He also traced the whereabouts of his son, but seeing his son’s dead body broke his heart. This thing has come to light in a media report.
The Khaleej Times reported on Tuesday that his son had died of a heart attack. His body was not identified for several days as he lived alone and had little contact with anyone else.
The couple had not seen their son for over 10 years. While he was in contact on the phone, they urged him several times to return home, but he refused.
According to social worker Ashraf Thamarassery, the son had to face some problems in his hometown after the engagement was called off.
“He never returned home after that,” Thamarassery told The Khaleej Times.
After losing contact with their son for several months, the worried parents decided to travel to the UAE to search for him.
The report states that since they had very few details, they knocked on several doors to find his address.
After several days of searching, the parents located their son and learned that he was no more.
From there, the parents went to the mortuary where they identified their son’s body and completed the necessary formalities for repatriation.
Ashraf told The Khaleej Times, “I can never forget the grief on the parents’ faces. It was one of the most heart-wrenching cases I have seen.”
There are estimated to be over 38,60,000 Indian expatriates living in the UAE, which is more than 38 per cent of the country’s total population.
In June this year, 35-year-old Indian expat Neethu Gansh died of electrocution while taking a shower at her home in Dubai.
Earlier this year, a 48-year-old man from Kerala went missing from the UAE and was found dead in a Pakistani jail.
The Pakistan government handed over the body to the Indian authorities at the Attari border.
