Praveen Kumar, son of Ramachandra Sheregar from Balkur Nadumane, strangely decided against participating in the marriage function organized for him.

Praveen's marriage was supposed to take place near Byndoor on Friday. Praveen has been working for a private concern at Bengaluru since the last ten years. He had informed his family that he would be reaching home on November 26 for the marriage. But he did not come home. When the family members tried to contact him, they found that his mobile phone was switched off. On the basis of a complaint made by his father, a missing case was registered in Kundapur rural police station.
