Probe on missing Lankan in Chennai

• Airport CCTV footage scrutinised

A 26-year-old Sri Lankan national who had arrived in the city of Chennai last month has gone missing. Based on a complaint by his mother, the airport police have launched a search for the man.  

Police said K.Dhana Sharath (26), son of Kirubha Raja and Kirubha Rani in Sri Lanka, arrived at the Bengaluru International Airport from Sri Lanka in July. On the very same day, Sharath boarded a Chennai bound Indigo flight and reached the Chennai domestic airport. Sources said he came to meet his relatives in the city.  

Since his mobile phone was not reachable since then, Kirubha Rani contacted their relatives in Chennai, who were unaware of Sharath’s visit to the city. Kirubha Rani reached the city on Tuesday and lodged a complaint with the airport police.  

The Chennai airport police registered a case and retrieved the CCTV footage at the airport premises to identify the man.
