The body of the 52-year-old Indian man, who bore several stab wounds, was found inside his grocery shop on Tuesday morning.

A police patrol, paramedics and a team from CID moved to the scene of the incident and they tried to save the life of the victim.

The body was transferred to Al Kuwaiti Hospital and later to the forensic laboratory. Police have launched an investigation into the death.

The case has been referred to the Sharjah Public Prosecution.

Colonel Mohammad Rashid Bayat, Director of Sharjah Police operations, praised police team efforts, which led to the swift arrest of the killer.
