Bantwal, Jun 11, 2011: Anita of Nagori in Sajipamooda in Mangalore has lodged separate complaints with the DK superintendent of police, inspector general of police, and the railway police, requesting them to trace her husband who went missing at Ratnagiri while travelling by the Mumbai to Mangalore Matsyagandha Express. According to the complaint, Anita’s husband Albert D’Souza (43) disappeared from this train on June 7.

 

 

Albert, an electric contract worker, had taken his sister Lilly to Mumbai on June 5 and was returning home on June 7 when he went missing. Anita has stated in her complaint that her husband had called her from the general compartment of the train at 3:00 p.m. An hour later, he called again, but did not sound too well.

A worried Anita called Albert’s sister’s family at Mumbai. At 8:30 p.m. on the same day, a stranger called Anita, spoke to her in Tulu, and told her that her husband was behaving like a lunatic. Anita was unable to contact him over phone after that.

Albert’s relatives made every effort to trace him, but they could trace neither Albert nor his luggage. Albert did not have any valuables with him, just Rs. 1,500. Although the family searched the general compartment, they could not trace either Albert or his belongings.

According to the family, Albert was healthy, never had any mental disorders, and had visited Mumbai several times in the past. He speaks Konkani, Tulu, and Kannada and is physically fit.
