Prashant Vaindam, one of the two Indian nationals arrested in Pakistan's
Cholisatn for illegally entering that country, was missing since 2017
and was in depression due to failure in a love affair, his father said
on Tuesday.
Prashant, working for a software company in
Hyderabad, was missing since April 29, 2017 and his family had lodged
complaint with the police.
Prashant's father Babu Rao said on
Tuesday that since then he was not in contact with the family and police
could also not trace him.
Babu Rao, whose family hails from
Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and settled in Hyderabad for six years,
said his son's first job was in Benagaluru, where he fell in love with a
girl working in the same company. After the girl, hailing from Madhya
Pradesh, moved to Switzerland, Prashant fell into depression.
Pakistan
media reported on Monday that Prashant along with Dharilal, a resident
of Madhya Pradesh, were arrested on November 14 in a desert close to
Bahawalpur district. They allegedly entered Pakistan through Rajasthan
without valid documents.
Babu Rao said they had no idea why he went to Rajasthan and how he came into contact with Dharilal.
"All
I know is my son is not the one to indulge in any illegal activity. We
appeal to Pakistan authorities to release him," said Babu Rao, who plans
to leave for New Delhi to make a formal request to Pakistan Embassy.
A
video message of Prashant to his parents went viral late on Monday.
Speaking in his mother tongue Telugu, the youth told his parents that he
hopes to be released from jail within a month.
"Mummy and daddy,
how are you? Now they brought me to court from police station after it
was declared that there was no problem. They will now send me to jail
from court and inform the Indian Embassy. I can then contact you," said
Prashant, who was seen taking permission from Pakistan police officials
to speak in Telugu.
"Now that I am being sent to jail, the bail
process will start. India and Pakistan exchange prisoners and it takes
time," he said in the brief video.
He did not say how and when he entered Pakistan.
