The family of Parasappa Jamgouda is anxious about the safety of his son L.N. Laxman (34), who has gone missing.

Laxman, the youngest of Mr. Parasappa’s three sons, who is in the Indian Army’s 24-Field Ammunition Depot at Shree Ganganagar in Rajasthan, has been missing since June 13. He had come to his home at Ganeshpur in the city recently. A complaint had also been made with the Camp Police Station about his being missing, but to no avail.

Speaking to The Hindu here on Saturday, his elder brother Mahadev, who is also in the Indian Army as havaldar at Indian Army-Ordinance at Pune, said Laxman had been missing from about 5 a.m. on June 13, when he left his house in his tracksuit before dawn.

Laxman did not carry anything with him and left his wallet with around Rs. 1,500 in cash, debit and credit cards, identity card and mobile handset. There were no suspicious calls to his cell phone either.

His wife Deepa (28) and two children, both less than five years, are anxious for his return.

Mr. Mahadev appealed to the public to contact him (9880493019) or the Belagavi police if they see Laxman.
