Puttur: Futile search for missing husband - woman seeks help

Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Mar 28: In a complaint filed with Uppinangady police station in the taluk on Wednesday March 27, Geeta, wife of Dinesh Gowda from Uppinangady, has stated that her husband has been missing for the last 13 months, and sought their help to trace him.

“My husband had left home, promising to return after visiting his ailing mother living at Chokkady. I was about to file a missing complaint after waiting for weeks for his arrival, but did not do so, as I used to receive a telephonic call from my husband from a coin box at such times, asking me not to file police complaint. During such calls, he used to promise me to come back home in two days, but failed to keep up his promise. His disappearance is mysterious, and my efforts during the last 13 months to find him have become futile. Hence, Please initiate measures to find his whereabouts,” she pleaded in her complaint.

It is gathered that Dinesh Gowda and Prema had married after loving each other. Geeta says that her husband, who left home on March 3 last year for visiting his mother, was never seen thereafter.

She claims that her husband does not own a cell phone, and has expressed the strong suspicion that he has been kept away by vested interests as part of a larger conspiracy to separate him from her.

Geeta also has written to Karnataka State Women’s Commission, putting forth a similar plea.
