Indian hangs himself in Dubai

Dubai: An Indian worker who lost his passport, hanged himself when he failed to get emergency travel papers from the Indian Consulate here to return home.

Raja Reddy, 32, a construction worker, committed suicide on Sunday evening, when he failed to get outpass from the consulate, his roommate said.

Reddy, who arrived in Sharjah in 2005 in search of a job, had become desperate after recruitment agents took his passport away and pressure mounted on him from home for clearance of debts, news reports said.

Consulate officials said they did not recall meeting Reddy but said an outpass could only be given to those who could be confirmed as Indian nationals. — UNI
