A shopkeeper who disappeared more than five years ago was found alive and well just days after a group of suspects was arrested for his murder, police said.

Ismail Ali was last seen leaving his job at Gulam Food Stores in the city of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England the afternoon of May 29, 2020, BBC News reported. His disappearance sparked an intense search, but authorities uncovered no sign of the missing man. He was 46 years old at the time, and investors had long believed he disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

Then, on Wednesday, Ali “turned up at the police station,” telling officers that he was “safe and well,” police said in an update on Thursday.

“Officers are working to understand the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance,” it said. “Mr. Ali’s family have been notified that he has been found safe and well and is being safeguarded whilst necessary checks are being made.”

Hmm. New family? Illegal side business became main business?
I'm glad he turned up, seems like upon hearing about the arrests. I'm glad he did.

Yes I was thinking that letting someone possibly go to jail for his death was something he couldn't live with.
So he did the right thing in that regard.

That might have been the only right thing he did. Just imagine the cost of the investigation and wasted time leading to the arrests. In addition, lives were turned upside down. People had the indignity and worry of being falsely accused. They would have lawyers bills to pay. The stress on all the families involved must have been horrendous.

Yes that's why I said he did the right thing in coming forward.
I admire him for that.

He made the choice to come forward. As far as I know he wasn't forced into it.
So it seems to me he gave up his new life to save others from being jailed.

He may have had valid reasons for leaving and not telling even the police.
Reasons that are acceptable to the court of public opinion. We don't know enough yet.

He may have left for reasons that are not acceptable to public opinion or the family and the family would be likely in two minds as to how they feel about his return.


I wish the family well. I wish him well.
