Hyderabad, November 19
One of the two Indians arrested in Pakistan for allegedly travelling without valid documents is a software engineer from Telangana and had gone missing from here two years ago, his family said.
Prashant Waindham (31) had been suffering from “depression”, his father Baburao said. He and another man from Madhya Pradesh were apprehended in Pakistan’s Punjab province for crossing the border ‘illegally’ and a case registered against them. “We had filed a missing complaint in April 2017. He was working with an IT company in the city. He was not involved in any illegal activities. We are surprised how he went to (Pakistan),” Baburao said.
He had been missing since April 11, 2017, after he did not return from office. He said his son had earlier mentioned about a woman colleague who wanted to marry him while he was working in Bengaluru. Later, the family came to know that she had moved to Switzerland and Waindham apparently wanted to meet her. However, there was no clarity on it, he said as Waindham was not in touch with the family since April 2017.
The Cyberabad Police Commissioner said the state government has taken up the issue with the Centre. — PTI
