Father of deceased Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash on Sunday, pleaded for custody of his grandson. Subhash’s father, Pawan Kumar Modi, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and others to ensure the custody of his grandson.
Although Pawan Kumar expressed gratitude towards the police for arresting the accused, he asserted that he still has not received justice as a new case has been filed against him in the name of his grandson for maintenance.
“We don’t know where she has kept our grandson. Has he been killed or is he alive? We don’t know anything about him. I want my grandson to be with us…I thank the police for arresting the accused…I still haven’t got justice as a case has been filed against me. A new case has been filed against me in the name of my grandson for maintenance. We appeal to PM Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and other leaders to ensure that my grandson comes to me…For a grandfather, his grandson means more than his son…The whole society, people are standing in my support…” Pawan Kumar told ANI.
Bikas Kumar Modi, the brother of the deceased man has also expressed concerns regarding the whereabouts of his nephew. He said that two arrests in the case were yet to be done.
“Our biggest concern right now is that we don’t know where my nephew (Atul Subhash’s son) is. We couldn’t find him in the photograph circulated by the police. We want to know where he is. I thank the Karnataka Police for arresting these three… Two other arrests are pending. I hope they will also be arrested soon…” Bikas Kumar Modi told ANI.
