"There are only some spots on one side of the body and on the other side there is no spot. So, we are in doubt whether he died in an accident or was murdered," he added.
Paul, who had flown to Saudi Arabia in August 2009 in search of work and better prospects worked as a domestic help with an influential family in Riyadh.
He had called back home in February 2010 home to inform that he was sending Rs 35,000, but the very next day he died in a road accident.
"He said that he will send money but on the very next day we received the information of his death. I feel that he was murdered for money. The money was the cause of his death," said Arati Paul, the mother of the deceased.
