Police put an end to missing drama in disaster-struck Madikeri
Madikeri, August 27: The rural police exposed the imposture of a couple who lodged a complaint that a seven-year-old boy was missing in the landslide and rains at Kaluru village in the taluk.
As the hills were collapsed due to heavy rains at Kaluru village, the villagers have left their homes in fear. At this time, Somashekar and Suma have said that their seven-year-old son Gagan Ganapathy was trapped under the mud in front of their eyes when the hill was collapsed, got the sympathy and joined the relief camp at Mythri Hall in Madikeri.
Rural police have lodged a missing case following their complaint and searched for the body of the boy for the last four days. The police along with the NDRF, SDRF and fire brigade made futile attempt to trace the boy. When the couple were asked to identify the place where their son was trapped under the mud, they became gullible and gave confusing answer. Suspecting their behavior, they spilled the beans
that the owner of the plantation has forced them to lodge a missing complaint and they have lodged the complaint.
For both Somashekar and Suma, it was the second marriage for them and both of them have deserted their children got from their earlier marriage. When the police investigated, the boy said to be missing was traced at the house of Suma’s mother at Thithimathi.
Now, the police have registered a case against the couple for misleading the police.
It is said that they have played the drama of getting Rs 5 lakh compensation to be given to the family of the deceased in the disaster.
