Indian held for killing compatriot in Dubai

Dubai: An Indian was arrested here recently for killing one of his compatriots and critically injuring two others. The accused, a 43-year-old, was arrested earlier this week following a joint manhunt launched by the Dubai and Sharjah police, a Sharjah police source said.

The deceased, identified as Satyarajan (53) from Kerala, worked as an electrician in a Sharjah-based company.

The injured had initially been admitted to a hospital in Sharjah, but one of the injured was later shifted to Al Qasimi Hospital for surgery, the Gulf News reported. The incident occurred on Thursday following a drinking binge when one of the victims demanded Dh.100 owned by the accused. On denying, the accused was pushed out of the room. He later returned with an iron rod and attacked them. In another incident, an Indian stabbed a Nepalese to death this week in Ras Al Khaimah. — PTI
