Bantwal, Feb 16: On Monday February 15, a local court permitted Ramya Shetty to go back to her parents. It may be recalled that after Ramya Shetty had eloped with Mohammed, who was already married and had three children, on December 4 last year, Hindu organizations had termed it as ‘Love Jehad’. While her parents filed a missing complaint at Konaje police station, her brother, Shivaprasad, had also filed a habeas corpus petition in the court.
After the couple was found to be working in the house of M B Sadashiva in Sullia on January 10 with fake names, they were presented in the local court on January 11. The court had sent Mohammed to judicial custody while Ramya was sent to Prajna Counselling Centre.
On Monday, Ramya, who came to the court, expressed the view that she had committed a mistake, and revealed her desire to return to her parents. The court, after holding a hearing, permitted her to return to her parents home in Pottolike. Mohammed had not appeared in the court on Monday. The parents of Ramya have sent her to the house of a relative in Vamanjoor for a week. Her parents feel that Ramya has realized her mistake and changed her mind accordingly.
Pro Hindu organizations too feel elated. Sharan Pumpwell, a Bajrang Dal leader, said that this was the result of his organization’s efforts and said, the activists were ready to extend whatever help Ramya and her family might require.
