A vacation division bench of the High Court at Hyderabad on Monday directed the Telangana government to produce the girl Tummala Swathi before the Court on May 18 and also to file a detailed affidavit on the investigation it had carried out to trace the boy Amboji Naresh who is missing since May 2.
MISSING Bhongir YOUTH CASE
Hyderabad: A vacation division bench of the High Court at Hyderabad on Monday directed the Telangana government to produce the girl Tummala Swathi before the Court on May 18 and also to file a detailed affidavit on the investigation it had carried out to trace the boy Amboji Naresh who is missing since May 2.
Tummala Swathi, who belongs to Reddy community, had secretly married her classmate Amboji Naresh, who belongs to washermen community, on March 25 in Mumbai. With insistence and enticement of her father, the couple after a month of living together in Mumbai, had reached their native place Bhongir town on May 2 and the girl was taken away by her father and the boy went missing ever since.
Amboji Venkataiah, the father of the boy, moved a house motion on Monday before the vacation division bench comprising Justice P Naveen Rao and Justice M S K Jaiswal, seeking a Writ of Habeas Corpus. It was brought to the notice of the court that the father of the girl, Tummala Srinivas Reddy, is an influential businessman with a criminal track record and the petitioner feared harm to his son, who has gone missing after arriving in Bhongir. The petitioner works as a dabbawala in Mumbai and had kept his son in native Bhongir for pursuing studies.
The Assistant Government Pleader informed the bench that investigation is going on in this case of missing person. He confirmed that Swathi and Naresh had reached Bhongir town on May 2 and the mobile phone signal of Naresh was showing locations of Uppal on May 3. After that there was no signal traced. He informed the bench that the girl attempted suicide recently.
The counsel for the petitioner brought to the notice of the bench the complaint given by Swathi in a Mumbai police station expressing her fear of harassment from her father. Given her father’s criminal antecedents, there is every possibility of harm being done to him, he said.
The bench directed the respondents to produce Swathi in the court on May 18 and also to file a affidavit on the investigation conducted so far and adjourned the matter.
