spoke to Behindwoods over the phone from
Mumbai to offer clear explanations of what
has happened.
Joseph Thottumkal said that “The
boy was first employed as a domestic help
while Asin was in Chennai. When Asin shifted
to Mumbai, he was also brought along as
an assistant. But, he met with an accident
and all his treatment expenses, which amounted
to approximately Rs. 2.7 lakhs were taken
care of. After recovering from the injuries,
he told us that he wanted to go home as
he was not comfortable in Mumbai. After
settling all his dues, we relieved him and
he left for Chennai, that was on January
21st. I have registered the information
of his departure with the Mumbai police
on February 8th. We have not heard anything
more of him since then. However, recently,
his mother had come to Mumbai saying that
her son had not returned home. When we told
her about what had happened, she returned
to Chennai and subsequently filed a report
with the police regarding her son’s
missing status. Chennai police had called
me today and I provided them with all the
details about what had happened. They seem
satisfied with the information that I have
provided”.
After the above explanation offered by Joseph
Thottumkal, let’s hope that the issue
is resolved soon. |
