Hassan: Thanks to the Covid pandemic, a man who went missing 22 years ago, returned to his parents on Tuesday, April 27.
Shekar had left home when he was 16 and his parents, Rajegowda and Akkayamma, who are farmers had searched desperately for their only son. However, after one year they had given up thinking that he had died.
Rajegowda and Akkayamma had worked hard to give good education to Shekar, but he ran away from home without any reason when he was studying Class 7.
Shekar who returned home after the government imposed 14-day lockdown said there was no specific reason why he left the house.
He further added that after running away from home he took up several jobs in different parts of the state and also Mumbai. He started a small business, but lost money.
When the situation started turning grim again with the second Covid wave and a likelihood of another lockdown, he decided to return home.
Rajegowda, who is now 61, said that thanks to Covid, their son returned to the family.
