Man from Hyderabad goes missing in Dubai, kin got last call in 2019

HYDERABAD: A 37-year-old man from Hyderabad has gone missing in Dubai and his family in Jahanuma has no clue about his whereabouts. The worried family has sought the help of the ministry of external affairs (MEA) to trace Mohammed Azmathullah Shareef, who last spoke with them a year ago.
Jabeen told STOI that they had tried to find out her brother’s whereabouts through a friend in Dubai but without success. “The last time Azmathullah had called up home was on February 1, 2019, to enquire about his father’s health,” she recalled. He had gone to Dubai 10 years ago in search of a job. Azmathullah is reportedly working in a construction company.
But, it remains a mystery as to why the family has waited all this while though the last contact with Azmathullah was made a year ago.
Jabeen said they are not in a position to understand as to how he could have gone missing. “My father had met with an accident last year and has been bedridden for nearly 10 months. We could not pursue with the authorities about my missing brother,” Jabeen said. She said she could not hazard a guess as to what would have happened to Azmathullah.
The worried family has written to external affairs minister S Jaishankar and the Consulate General of India in Dubai to help trace Azmathullah. In the letter, father Mohammed Asadullah Shareef said both he and his wife are ailing and urged the authorities to find their only son.
Jabeen said they are five sisters and Azmathullah is their only brother. He discontinued his degree course and went to Dubai in 2010. He came to Hyderabad only once during August-October 2014 in the last 10 years. “He was in touch with us. But, the call he made on February 1, 2019, was his last,” she said.
