Mangaluru, Mar 1: A team of police, including personnel from the Ullal police station, has intensified their search in Bengaluru for the missing PhD student, Chaithra.
Ullal VHP and BD leaders have submitted an appeal to ACP Dhanya Nayak, urging her to consider the missing case as serious.
Chaithra went missing on February 17 from her rented accommodation in Madoor. She left her scooter in Suratkal. Initially, the police treated the case as a usual missing person's case and began searching for Chaithra. However, Hindu organizations pressured the police, threatening to hold protests, accusing a youth suspected of drug peddling of involvement in Chaithra's disappearance.
Police obtained information suggesting that Chaithra was in Bengaluru based on her mobile phone's location data. CCTV footage from the Majestic bus stand in Bengaluru showed her disembarking from a bus there. The police express confidence in locating Chaithra within the next two days.
Meanwhile, the young man from Puttur, accused of being involved in drug peddling and having contact with Chaithra, is also missing. His mobile phone is switched off. It remains uncertain whether Chaithra and the young man are together or in different locations. The Ullal police are continuing their investigation.
Hindu organisation leaders met with ACP Dhanya Nayak, alleging that Chaithra was kidnapped under the influence of drugs by Love Jihad forces. They urged the police to swiftly apprehend the culprits.
