I married of my own free will, MLA’s ‘missing’ daughter tells cops
Bengaluru: Lakshmi, the 23-year-old daughter of K Shivamurthy Naik, the Congress MLA from Mayakonda (Davangere district), who was “missing” since March 6, appeared before the Yelahanka New Town police on Friday, along with her husband.
The police said that Lakshmi gave a statement saying that she had married Sundar Gowda of her own free will. Gowda is the producer of Kannada film “Mastigudi.”
A missing complaint of Lakshmi was lodged on March 6 and a day later, Lakshmi uploaded the pictures of her marriage with Gowda on social media sites. Based on this information, the police had searched a resort near Mysuru also, but could not find the girl.
After coming to know about the missing complaint, the couple met actor Vijay at the former’s home on Friday. Vijay, in turn, brought the couple to the police station.
The couple, in a video recorded statement, said that they had married of their own free will.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi’s brother Suraj said that his sister had not mentioned anything about her love affair.
“Had she informed, we would have got them married,” he said and expressed displeasure over Vijay bringing the couple to the police station.
