A young Indian man has reportedly been killed in a group fight at a workers' accommodation in Baniyas in Abu Dhabi.

Subin Varghese, 22, died after receiving serious injuries in the fight at the accommodation on Thursday night, Gulf News quoted a co-worker, as saying.

The co-worker claimed that the tragic incident started with a drunken brawl, but the victim was not drunk.

“It seems the fight started with an altercation about an incident at the work site. Varghese questioned a fellow countryman who trespassed into the room of his friends and attacked them,” the friend said.

“There was a fight between Varghese and the fellow countryman and Varghese was left with serious wounds,” he said.

“All those involved in the brawl were picked up by the police. The fellow countryman who fought with the victim was later brought to the accommodation by the police, apparently for gathering the evidence,” he added.

Varghese, from Kerala, was working as an electrician with a contracting company in Abu Dhabi.

An official who had access to the autopsy report of the victim said that he died of stab wounds on the chest.
