India, Sept. 23 -- A Karnataka man from Udupi who had been working in Sharjah for 14 years was allegedly murdered in July, with his body found inside a car, cut into nine pieces and packed into two bags.

Details of the alleged killing emerged nearly two months after his family raised an alarm over his disappearance. His wife and teenage son also remain untraceable.

Alwin Prakash Kunder was working at Sharjah Airport and living in the UAE with his wife, Tina Kunder, and their son, a Class 10 student. Tina, who is also from Udupi, worked as a school teacher, according to India Today.

Prakash's brother Anil Prashanth Kunder said he tried contacting him around July 20. Prakash did not answer but sent a text saying he was fine.
