Engineer’s wife, daughter remain missing, 3 days after suicide bid
The Kakinada police are continuing the search for the prime accused Sk. Sadhik Khan.
Three days following the tragic suicide attempt by Pithapuram Assistant Engineer K. Nooka Raju and his family, his wife Meena and daughter Sowjanya remain missing. The engineer's body was recovered from the Godavari River just hours after the incident, and his 10-year-old grandson was rescued shortly thereafter. However, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and Rajamahendravaram police have reported that search operations for the two women are ongoing.
South Division Deputy Superintendent of Police A. Siva Priya confirmed that the search in the river is still underway between the Road-cum-Rail bridge, where the family jumped, and the Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage (SACB) at Dowleswaram. She further stated that there is no possibility of the missing women being swept downstream, as the SACB's gates are closed.
In Kakinada, Prime Suspect SK. Sadhik Khan, who allegedly drove the family to take their own lives, is currently on the run. An abetment to suicide case has been registered against him, and Kakinada Superintendent of Police G. Bindu Madhav has confirmed that the search for Mr. Khan is also in progress, with him still at large.
