Speaking media victim Anand Singh’s sister Anitha Suvarna from Udupi said Anand was working as a store manager for Cogeno Comercio Geral de Bocala, based in Mozambique’s capital city of Mobuto. On May 29, he found cash worth Rs 9 lakh missing from the store and immediately informed his superiors. However, the employer accused him of stealing cash 8,63,940 meticals (INR 9,30,196.22). They detained and assaulted him.

In an email to Minister Sushma Swaraj, Suvarna said the employer’s son kept a pistol on his forehead and took in writing that he robbed the money. "Even though he told them he did not rob the money, they did not listen and just kept beating him," she said and added that the employer had confiscated his passport and other documents.

Anitha said that she had also informed his friends in Mumbai about the incident, who later started a Twitter campaign and brought the issue to the notice of the minister.

Anand is expected to reach Udupi in two or three days. Though the family originally hails from Udupi, they were settled in Mumbai, but moved to Udupi again in 1999.
