Lankan who went to India for Spanish Visa missing



W. Francis Washington Fernando, a 60-year-old Sri Lankan had gone missing while he was in New Delhi, India to acquire a Spanish Visa, a family member said today.

His daughter–in-law, who had been with Fernando in New Delhi at the time that he went missing, explained that he had gone out by himself for a while on September 5, and had not returned.

“We have informed the Sri Lankan High Commission in India as well as the Indian Police about my father-in-law’s disappearance. We also handed over his passport and return ticket to the High Commission,” she said.

She said that they had informed the Foreign Ministry about the incident on arrival in Sri Lanka. When asked to verify that they had been informed that such an incident had occurred, Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister, Neomal Perera, said that they had not been informed of such a disappearance as yet.  (Indika Sri Aravinda)
