“We have lived together only 1 Day in Dubai. She is missingâ€
DUBAI – A newly married couple’s honeymoon period ended abruptly in tragedy as the husband claims that the young wife has been missing since yesterday from their sharing accommodation in Karama, one day after she landed in Dubai on a visit visa. The apparently desperate husband of 24 years old Suma (name changed) from Ernakulam, Kerala says he has lived with the newly married girl only 17 days including one day in Dubai. “Suma has been missing since yesterday. When I left for work at 5 AM, she was happy and smiling. She did not appear to have any problems. By evening 7 PM when I returned to the accommodation, she was missing,†says the husband, who claimed that he has already lodged a complaint with the Dubai Police about his missing wife. “She has left a two page letter written in Malayalam stating that she is going with her lover in Abu Dhabi. In the letter she has thanked me for bringing her to Dubai. I dont know what has happened and she never told me about any such friends here,†the husband told Evening Post. “She is my own wife and how can I afford to miss her. Her family is accusing me for no reason,†he added. “I took a visit visa for her from a Sharjah travel agency and we lived together in Dubai only one day,†he added. “I am standing in the Emmigration counter of Indian Consulate in Dubai to make a formal complaint,†he added. However, the Indian Consulate General Venugopal and Sawant Goel, who are looking after such cases said they did not receive any such complaint till 10.15 AM. “The girls family in Kerala is also accusing me and I am helpless. I have already made a formal police complaint with the Al Rafa Police Station on Saturday night,†he added. “In the leter, she has stated that she was in love with someone in Abu Dhabi and her marriage with me was just to reach Dubai,†he added. “Some one called me yesterday night and threatened with dire consequences,†he added. However, the parent of the missing bride told Evening Post from Ernakulam that the girl was taken to Dubai through Delhi airport. “We have arranged for her marriage with the boy who work in Dubai. She has a MCA (Master of Computer Application) degree and was working in Ernakulam.†“The marriage was facilitated through a broker and we dont know the name of the mother in law who took her to New Delhi,†she says. “The mother in law came to our house and took the girl to New Delhi on 28th August. When we asked why they are traveling from New Delhi and not any airport in Kerala, they said tickets were not available,†added the girls aunty. “The marriage took place four months ago and we did not receive any call from her after she reached Dubai,†she added. “All the certificates were attested and they took her to Dubai,†she added. She sounded unhappy about the missing case and fears some foul play, which is ruled out by the shattered husband. Police investigation is on and only time will tell the real story behind the missing or absconding bridegroom.
