Dubai: A 29-year-old Indian expat man was found dead three months after he had gone missing from his accommodation in Dubai.

Amal Satheesh had started working as a salesman in Dubai earlier last year. He went missing from his accommodation in International City under mysterious circumstances on October 20, 2022.

A police complaint was filed and an intense search was on by the police, social workers and community members. However, he was not traceable.

On February 15, 2023, his body was found hanging from a tree in a sandy yard in Rashidiya area. “A municipality cleaner found it and informed the police,” according to social worker Naseer Vatanappally.

Vatanappally was authorised by the Indian Consulate in Dubai to receive the body of Satheesh on behalf of his family.

The mortal remains of Amal Satheesh were repatriated to his hometown in the south Indian state of Kerala on Wednesday night, social worker Vatanappally told Gulf News.

Vatanappally said the mortal remains were released after the completion of the legal procedures and repatriated on a late night flight on Wednesday.

Dubai Police said the case had been transferred to Public Prosecution.
