Puttur, Jul 28: Krishnappa Poojary, a pigmy agent, who has been missing since two days is yet to be traced. 

"I have been made a scapegoat in the financial scam that has taken place in the cooperative society. I will not live with this kind of insult," wrote Krishnappa Poojary (47), a resident of Nandini Nagar near Hirebandadi of Uppinangady in the taluk, in the letter he left. 

The search for Krishnappa is intensified now. 

Krishnappa, who was running a printing press at Nelyadi, was the pigmy agent for the Toddy Tappers' Association of Nelyadi. He has been missing since July 26. He wrote a three-page letter in which he said that he was going to kill himself and the president of the association Usha Anchan was the reason for his death. 

When the CCTV camera was checked, it is found out that Krishnappa was walking by the petrol pump at around 3 am of July 26. Due to this clue, the police, along with the home guard flood protection force, searched in the Netravati River on Saturday, July 27. However, so far Krishnappa could not be located.
