Sullia, Aug 3: The scandalous and colourful stories pertaining to a man from the taluk, who had married several ladies over a period of time, are tumbling out one by one. It transpires that the man, identified as Dinesh from Mandekolu here, who had deserted his native place 22 years back and came back a few days back, led a crazy life. Stories about him have also been making a splash in social websites.
Dinesh had married his first wife when he was in his native place. He then abandoned his wife and child, sold the land he owned, and went to Kerala where he settled down. Stories circulated about him claim that he had married when in Mangaluru, Bantwal, Puttur and Kerala.
About a decade back, he had come to his native place to attend the renovation work of a Daivasthana attached to his family. He was moving in a car and sometimes even visited Mandekolu, it is said. Details of his past life were not even known to his family members. A few months ago, some people came searching for him from Mangaluru. He escaped from their clutches and fled, never to be seen. Again, the family does not know who came hunting for him and why.
Reportedly he had attempted to sell his wife. He took her to Bengaluru, and locked the door of the room when she was changing, and went away to bring intending buyers. She somehow got to know about his intention and escaped from this vicious plan.
It is said that Dinesh used to marry some for money. He used to choose poor or widowed women and rob them by promising to provide them life support. He used several cellphone numbers and transacted with different people. By using his convincing skill and looks, he used to deceive women, performed the drama of marrying them, and made good his escape with their property and ornaments. Some say he deceived a woman from Puttur to the extent of seven lac rupees.
After the information that Dinesh used to visit a house at Mandekolu reached her, a woman, who claimed that she was cheated by Dinesh, came to Mandekolu along with relatives about ten days back. She told the story of how she was taken for a ride by Dinesh, fought with his family here, and did not heed to the explanation provided by the people in the village that Dinesh has severed all connection with his family now. Finally, the locals succeeded in pacifying and sending her away, it is said.
District superintendent of police, Ravikanthe Gowda, and police commissioner, T R Suresh, said that if someone complains about this person's deeds, the police will do their best to bring him to book.
