Meanwhile reports revealed that the huge amount which Khader had taken along with him before he left home on Saturday night, for making arrangements for a lunch which he was supposed to host the next day on account of his house warming ceremony, was missing.
Abdul Khader, who owned the New Medical Centre near the service bus stand in the city, had met with an accident when a car had hit his two-wheeler.

The relatives of Khader also say that the trouser of Khader was found let loose from his body when found and say they have a doubt if it was someone’s deliberate act to lay hands on the cash which Khader had, or was due to the impact of the tide.
