Karnataka Man Allegedly Dismembered in Sharjah

Kunder had last visited his hometown in December before returning to Sharjah, according to his brother. His wife, Tina, is originally from Udyavara in Udupi, and their son was studying in Class 10 in Sharjah.
The family’s initial alarm followed a specific sequence: Anil called Kunder on July 20, received the unusual text, and then received no response when he called again about a week later. He subsequently asked Kunder’s Sharjah-based classmate, Manohar, to check the company-provided flat.
Kunder’s brother Anil Prashanth formally approached the Udupi superintendent of police on Monday, submitting a representation seeking action over the death; local police said they were awaiting official communication from Sharjah before issuing a statement.
Alwin Prakash Kunder, a 14-year employee at Sharjah Airport, was allegedly murdered and dismembered into nine pieces in July, Firstpost reported. His remains were found packed in two bags inside a car parked along a route toward Oman. The discovery emerged after his family grew alarmed when calls went unanswered and a suspicious text claimed he was fine.
Kunder's wife, Tina, a schoolteacher, and their teenage son remain untraceable, India Today reported. Indian police have not independently established their connection to the killing or their current whereabouts. The case raises urgent questions about what happened in the weeks before his body was found.
Kunder's brother Anil called him on July 20 and received an odd text saying he was well, Free Press Journal reported. When Anil tried calling back about a week later, there was no response. He then asked Manohar, Kunder's Sharjah-based classmate, to check the company-provided flat where Kunder lived.
The family received misleading information that Kunder had returned to India, but passport records showed he remained in Sharjah. Nearly two months later, relatives obtained a post-mortem report that confirmed the worst. This delay left the family in the dark for weeks about Kunder's fate.
The circumstances around Kunder's death remain murky. NDTV reported that his body was discovered in a car, but authorities have not disclosed why he was killed or who committed the murder. The motive remains completely unclear to investigators and the family.
Kunder had last visited his hometown in December before returning to Sharjah. He was a stable employee with 14 years of service at the airport and no known conflicts. His sudden death has left his family searching for answers about what triggered such violence.
Kunder's brother Anil Prashanth formally approached the Udupi superintendent of police on Monday with a representation seeking action. Local police said they were waiting for official communication from Sharjah authorities before making a public statement.
The case now rests on cooperation between Indian and UAE authorities. Without direct information from Sharjah police, the investigation remains stalled. The family continues to seek answers about their missing wife and son and the truth behind Kunder's death.
