Woman finds clue to missing son, husband while dusting

Woman finds clue to missing son, husband while dusting
Mumbai: All along she believed she knew who was responsible for the sudden disappearance of her six-year-old son and husband in 2003.

Seven years later, a scrap of paper she found while dusting up an old cupboard in her house, has brought a twist in the tale, leaving the woman baffled.

Gunja Kewat's husband Ramawadh, a vegetable vendor, went missing in 2003. This was about a month after her six-year-old son, Amit, disappeared mysteriously. This happened when the Kewats shifted home from Goregaon to Nallasopara.

Gunja suspected her neighbour, Vijay Kunnu, to be responsible for the disappearance of her husband and son.

Gunja had spurned Kunnu's sexual advances and she thought he was getting back at her. Kunnu, incidentally, was a friend of Gunja's husband and also their neighbour in Goregaon. He too had shifted to Nallasopara with the Kewats.

Gunja lodged a complaint against Kunnu who was arrested and subsequently released on bail.

But now seven years later, she found a sheet of paper that turned out to be the copy of a letter her husband had written to the Dindoshi police station in Goregaon.

Ramawadh had in 2002 lodged a complaint against a moneylender, Chandrapal Singh Charan, who had been threatening to kill him.

His complaint said that the moneylender had threatened to bump him off if he did not repay an amount of Rs 90,000 which had been loaned to Ramawadh.

Gunja has now approached the police for investigation. "We have handed over a written complaint to the authorities concerned. If necessary action is not taken, we will move court," said Gunja's lawyer Fazil Shaikh. "We want Chandrapal Singh Charan to be arrested," he added.
