GWADAR: A Chinese engineer is said to have committed suicide by jumping into Arabian Sea in Gwadar, police said on Saturday.

Police said that according to the CCTV footage from a camera at the Gwadar port, the Chinese engineer, who was identified as Lu Youyu, committed suicide late last night. They said that after finding him missing from his residence they watched the CCTV footage. “Mr Lu Youyu can be clearly seen jumping into the sea in the footage,” the police said.
