CHENNAI: It has been more than two years and the family members of financier and rice dealer Sivasankar are yet to get any information on the whereabouts of their missing sole bread winner. After many attempts in vain to trace the 40-year-old man from Peerkankaranai police limits, the family has pinned their hopes on the CM, making efforts to meet her.Sundaravalli of Kurinji Nagar, Old Perungalathur, wife of Sivasankar, recalled last seeing her husband leaving home on July 15, 2009 to drop their daughter Sathyapriya (20) in her college in his two-wheeler. But he had stopped half way through and allegedly asked his daughter to catch an auto to college after he received a phone call in his mobile. “It seems he received a call from his friend to meet him. But later when inquired, the friend said my husband never met him that day,” Sundaravalli says.The family attempted in vain to reach Sivasankar to his mobile phone. The family lodged a complaint with the Peerkankaranai police the next day. “My husband had worn 17 sovereigns gold jewellery and had cash of Rs 50,000 when he left home on that day. We are sure he was kidnapped by someone we already knew,” she says.Sivasankar, a wholesale rice dealer and a financier for the past 10 years, has left behind his wife and four children Shanmugadass (22), Maharaja (15), Sathyapriya (20) and Sangeetha (18). The woman claims that police found her husband’s mobile phone sim card in Mamallapuram but no information about him. With renewed hopes, she has now lodged a complaint with the Greater Chennai city police commissioner last week besides making another complaint at the CM’s cell. “We have also filed a habeus corpus in the court now after our relatives suggested it. We have hopes that he will be alive somewhere. We have given a complaint in the CM cell. I’m also making efforts to meet the CM along with my children as I’m confident that she would help us find my husband,” the woman says.Following fresh complaint with the police commissioner, Peerkankaranai police have begun investigating the case from the scratch. “We are reviewing the case and have started the investigation all over again. We have even questioned those who had taken loans from him. He does not seem to have any enemies in his business as he was a soft person,” says A Naganathan, Peerkankaranai police inspector.
