Koppa: Man reunites with son after 7 years
Koppa: A man from Kumbragodu village in Koppa taluk has finally reunited with his son after a gap of seven long years, following efforts by him and the local police.
The man, Manjunath, had been separated from his wife Shobha several years ago after a family dispute. The couple had twin boys. Following their separation, Shobha reportedly took one of the sons, who was just five years old at the time, and left him with another family in the taluk. She then went missing, and her whereabouts remained unknown.
Manjunath had been searching for his wife and son all these years, but without success. Recently, he received information that his son was staying with a couple in the Koppa area. Hoping to see him, Manjunath went to their house. But things took a wrong turn, locals mistook him for a kidnapper, thrashed him, and handed him over to the police.
Manjunath then filed a complaint with the Jayapura Police Station. Based on his complaint, the police started investigating the matter and found that the child in question was indeed his son. The boy was studying in Class 5 at a local school.
Police then produced the child before the District Child Welfare Committee. After following due procedures, the boy was officially handed over to Manjunath.
Assistant Sub-inspector Ravikumar along with police personnel Kalavathi, Nagaraj, and Sathish were part of the team that worked on this case.
