Indian worker run over by minibus
DUBAI — Mujeeb Abdul Karim, a 26-year-old Indian national hailing from Kerala, was crushed to death when a minibus ran over him in Al Qouz industrial area early yesterday. The driver was arrested.
Mujeeb was trying to cross the road on a bicycle near New Madina Supermarket when the vehicle knocked him down. He died on the spot.
"I did not realise what had happened when I heard a noise on the road leading to the roundabout. It was a mind boggling scene to find a man crushed by a vehicle. Police rushed to the spot and an ambulance was brought to the accident site. Later they took the body to a police morgue," said an eyewitness.
The accident led to a traffic jam in the area and it took more than an hour for the traffic to normalise, he added.
The deceased, from Kannur district in Kerala, was working with Best Choice Industries in Al Quoz as a labourer since only a week.
Mustafa, uncle of the deceased, told Khaleej Times that Mujeeb had arrived in the UAE a week ago to support his family back home. "His parents were dependent on him and he arrived in the UAE to work and support his family to survive. We have informed the family about his tragic death," he said.
He added: "It was a shock for the family. I do not know how they will handle the situation. We have decided not to send the body to India. Instead as soon as the body is released by the police, we will carry out his last rites in Dubai."
