Another Indian commits suicide; toll at 27

In yet another case of suicide in Dubai, another Indian worker died last night when he jumped down from his accommodation.

The victim has been identified as Rajesh aged 26 from Tamil Nadu in India and was working in a logistics company in Dubai.

According to a source from DCL Shipping, Rajesh died early this morning at around 7.30 am in his accommodation.

“He jumped down from his room located on the third floor of the building. It was the security guard who first discovered the incident and immediately called the police. The body has been taken to the police mortuary,” said the official.

Rajesh who had earlier worked with the company for two years left the company and had rejoined just six months ago. “He was working as a welder. We are still not sure what caused him to commit suicide,” said the official.

There has been an increase in the number of Indians committing suicides in the UAE. According to recent statistics at least 27 Indians have committed suicide during the last five months alone.

Earlier this month another Indian died after he jumped from the 148 floor of Burj Khalifa.
