Pakistani teen, who went missing three weeks ago, laid to rest in Dubai

Pakistani teenager Ibrahim Muhammad was laid to rest in Dubai. He was found dead after being reported missing three weeks ago.

As reported, a grade 12 student of a Pakistani school in Ajman left his home in Al Rawda 1 on April 12 following an argument with his mother.

He was later found dead in Ajman, sustaining a fatal injury after falling from a building.

He was laid to rest in Al Muhaisnah graveyard in Dubai after an emotional funeral on Friday.

“I still cannot accept what has happened to my son,” her mother told Khaleej Times on Saturday.

She can’t grasp how the 19 harrowing days she spent looking for him would end in mourning.

“Every day I would run around this area looking for him like a mad person,” she said.

“The police were investigating but I was also trying on my own. Every time someone told me that they had seen someone like him in an area, I would run there.”

“He died the day he disappeared from the house,” she said, adding, “I wish I had known it then. It would have shortened my ordeal. I am not sure why there was such a long delay between his death and being notified about it.”

The mother said she had a vivid dream two days after Ibrahim’s reported death. “I dreamt that Ibrahim was pointing to a part of his body and saying, ‘Mum, this place is hurting me a lot and I need to go to the hospital’,” she said.

“At the time, I thought he was alive, and I began praying more fervently. Now, the police report has shown that he suffered a severe injury in that particular place.”

She also mentioned there was a number in Ibrahim’s phone that she did not recognise. “I have reported it to the police and they are looking into it,” she added.

“Also, I have seen the building he fell from. I don’t know how he was able to slip into a building that has security, unnoticed. I have faith in the police and their investigation. I am sure that if there was some foul play behind Ibrahim’s death, they will investigate it.”
