Police in Dubai recovered the hanging body of a Bangladeshi youth, identified as Monir Hossain (28), from his residence on Sunday.

Monir, who worked at a carton company in Dubai, lived in a shared room in Jebel Ali with two others. His brother Anwar Hossain told reporters that Monir had returned from work around 10 p.m. on Saturday and briefly spoke with his family over the phone. “He said he was about to cook and would call back after dinner. But when he didn’t, I tried calling, and he never answered,” Anwar recounted.

Later, Monir’s younger brother, who also worked at the same company, asked acquaintances to check on him. They discovered Monir’s lifeless body hanging inside the room. Following the incident, his Pakistani and Indian roommates were reportedly missing from the residence.
