A 28-year-old man who went missing one and half years ago was reunited with his family from Andhra Pradesh Kodur Cuddapah on Saturday October 3. The instance was the city's well known NGO White Doves’ 390th one.
Subramanyam was found near Hotel Ocean Pearl in May 2019. He was then under White Doves’ care by its founder Corrine Rasquinha. Later, he was found mentally unsound and was treated. After one and half year, his brother Venkatesh and his wife along with his friends arrived to Mangaluru to take Subramanyam back to his hometown.
Venkatesh said, "We belong from Andhra Pradesh Kodur Cuddapah. Subramanyam was mentally unsound since several years and was getting treated. Later, he went missing. We searched every nook and corner at our place. We even filed a police complaint, but could not locate Subramanyam. We had lost hope that we would find him again. We were in shock when we received a call from White Doves that he had reached Mangaluru which is almost 1,000 km away from our native. We will always be grateful to White Doves for saving my brother and reuniting him with us after one and half years. Our mother always cried thinking about her son. When she came to know about Subramanyam who was traced in Mangaluru, she was very much delighted. She is waiting for his arrival.”
Speaking to Daijiworld.com, White Doves founder Corrine Rasquinha said, "We found Subramanyam outside Hotel Ocean Pearl. He had burnt marks and was later taken with us to get treated. As he was mentally unsound, he was very violent. He recovered later. He was speaking Telugu. Subramanyam gave the contact and some details about his family which was later traced by our manager. We are happy to say that this is the 390th time we are reuniting a lost and found member of a family.”
