The police have extended to Karnataka the search for a five-member family from Badiyaduka who went missing under mysterious circumstances on May 14.
The police are zeroing in on a shop in Karnataka where Udayan, 32, one of the five missing persons, was working. The police launched a probe on May 21 following a complaint lodged by Chandravathi that her two daughters, Prema, 20, and Remya, 15, were missing along with Sangeetha, 2, Prema’s daughter. They had left for a nearby school to procure a certificate of Remya.
Since the trio did not return home, Udayan, Prema’s husband, went in search for them, along with his son, four-year-old Sreejith. However, they too did not return, prompting the local people to launch a manhunt.
The police said they had not visited the school at nearby Kattukukke.
