Mystery shrouds man’s fatal fall from building
IT’S UNCLEAR WHY HE WENT TO TOWER NEAR HIS WORKSITE
What was a young Indian engineer who fell to his death from a residential tower in Dubai Silicon Oasis on Monday afternoon doing at a building near his worksite when he lived in Ras Al Khor?
Dubai Police, who confirmed that the 25-year-old victim, Sabeel Rahman, fell from the 18th floor, is investigating the matter.
Naseer Vatanappally, a social worker who is assisting Rahman’s family with the repatriation of his body to Kerala, said: “Apparently, the watchman has said that he [Rahman] went there to see an apartment for renting. We don’t know what exactly happened after that.”
Vatanappally, who personally knows the deceased’s family, said the circumstances of his death “sounded strange”.
Rahman, an urban planning engineer working with an electrical engineering company since August 2018, was staying with his elder brother’s family in Ras Al Khor.
“He didn’t have any issues that the family is aware of. He had taken his breakfast packed to the worksite from his brother’s house. He also told them to receive a new mobile phone that he had ordered online in the afternoon, which they did. So, it is difficult to believe that he had any intention to commit suicide.”
Vatanappally said Rahman’s brother and his family have been devastated after the death of the former’s youngest sibling and are awaiting the investigation details to know what exactly happened. “He was the youngest of four siblings. Their sisters and parents are
