The lady had married Prashant from Mundailu in Thotattadi village in Beltangady taluk about eight years ago. After differences between the couple aggravated, Nisha had abandoned her husband and started staying with her mother at her parental home. But during May 2015, she suddenly went missing, after which her mother, Usha, filed a missing case in Uppinangady police station.

The police got to know from Nisha that initially she had visited her relatives at Nieshwar in Kerala and stayed with them for a few days. Thereafter, she went to Yedapadavu and started to live with the relatives living there, she added. As she vehemently resisted suggestions to renunite with her husband, the police sent her to the house of her mother at Manigeri.
