Mangaluru: Shashikala reaches home finally after going missing for a year

Mangaluru: With the efforts made by the International Kannadigas Federation, Shashikala hailing from Sullia, who went missing a year ago from Dubai has finally reached home safely.

A video clip of Shashikala’s mother sobbing that her daughter could not be contacted either by her parents or children had gone viral on social media.

Addressing the media, Hidayat Addoor, convener of the International Kannadigas Federation informed that Harish Kodi, a member of KNRI Forum contacted him after learning about the news carried by a private TV channel.

He further informed that their team immediately found out the current location of Shashikala through the agents and informed Chaya Krishnamurthy of the Indian Association who in turn brought Shashikala to the Ajmal Shelter Home within a day. She undertook measures needed to help her go back home.

For the past year, Shashikala was in Dubai, without any work.

The police case booked against her has been solved and in the place of the lost passport, she was issued a white passport.

The emergency exit certificate was obtained and she was subjected to a coronavirus test after remitting the fine imposed on Shashikala at the emigration.

Shashikala was able to reach home safely with the 12-days efforts made by Chaya Krishnamurthy.
