SACHSE – Family members were seeking answers after a 20-year-old Sachse man was found dead in the southbound lanes of Central Expressway at the Dallas High Five interchange early Monday morning.
Dallas police received a call about 12:55 a.m. after a witness driving southbound on Central saw the body and stopped. Dhruv Badhiwala’s hands were bound in front of his body and a T-shirt was tied around his face. Authorities found his car parked on the bridge from eastbound Interstate 635 to northbound U.S. 75.
Investigators have not determined if foul play was involved. They are looking at whether Mr. Badhiwala committed suicide but tried to make it appear that he was killed. Police also said someone could have tied Mr. Badhiwala’s hands together and thrown him off the bridge.
At the rural Sachse home he shared with more than 25 family members, funeral preparations were being made for Mr. Badhiwala. His uncle, Shamji Badhiwala, drove up from Waco early this morning after hearing about the news.
He described his nephew as a nice young man who loved computers and had a knack for fixing them. He was a junior at University of Texas at Dallas, studying computer science.
“He wouldn’t have any enemies. He went to school full time. He had a job. He spent most of his time at home,” the elder Mr. Badhiwala said, while sitting in a living room of the family’s home.
In addition his extended family, Mr. Badhiwala leaves behind his parents, Nagji and Kavita Badhiwala, and his younger sister, Krishna Badhiwala.
