Feroke: A 30-year-old woman who went missing three years ago after leaving behind a suicide note and abandoning her scooter near the Arappuzha bridge has been traced to Thrissur.
The woman, identified as Varsha of Mathrupilly near Cheruvannoor, was located through a joint operation by the Feroke Police and a Crime Squad led by Deputy Commissioner Arun K Pavithran. Varsha had gone missing from her rented house at Vazhaputtahara near Edamoonnu in Feroke on November 11, 2022.
Following her disappearance, her relatives lodged a complaint, after which police recovered her scooter abandoned near the Arappuzha bridge. Despite an extensive search, no trace of her was found as she had also discarded her mobile phone and SIM card.
Acting on the Commissioner’s directive, a scientific investigation by a special squad and assisted by the Cyber Cell, revealed that she had been secretly in touch with her family through internet calls. This breakthrough led investigators to trace her to a private firm in Thrissur, where she was employed.
During the probe, police also discovered that Varsha had defrauded a private finance company in Feroke of Rs.9.10 lakh by pledging fake gold. She was further found to have borrowed money from several individuals.
According to police, Varsha staged her disappearance by leaving a suicide note and abandoning her scooter to mislead both the public and investigators. A case is already pending against her following the complaint filed by the finance firm.Inspector T S Sreejith confirmed that a detailed report in this regard will soon be submitted before the court.
The investigation team included City Crime Squad members Hadil Kunnummel, Shafi Parambath, Shaher Perumanna, Jinesh Chooloor, Rajesh Chaithanyam, Feroke SI S Anoop, CPO K Prajisha, M Sanoop, and Cyber Cell CPOs Sujith Mavoor and Shefin Skaria.
