SHARJAH — Investigations have revealed that the Indian national, whose decomposed body was found in the back seat of a van parked on King Faisal Road on Thursday last, had committed suicide.

According to police sources, forensic report proved that the man, identified as Julo Serial, 44, had committed suicide by consuming chemical material.

The police said the deceased had left a suicide note addressed to his family back home in India. The note, written in Hindi language, said he was ending his life as he had a dispute with one of his close relatives who had refused to pay him his dues.
