Jabar's body was initially kept in the mortuary as an unidentified corpse. Later social workers and community groups stepped in to locate a relative.

On Monday his brother reached the mortuary and identified him, said the report.

"We hail from Kannur district of Kerala. Jabar was staying in Abu Dhabi for nine years and he went missing last week, said Muneer, Jabar's brother who works with the same bank.
