The hunt for a missing Indian has led to Kathmandu, where his family thinks he could be residing after disappearing from Delhi. About six months ago, Naresh Kumar, a resident of Shahdara in the Indian capital, left his home without telling his wife or two daughters anything - and never came back. The 38-year-old Kumar, who worked as an electrician and skilled mechanic, has not contacted any of his relatives or friends since then, leaving his family frantic. Kumar's friends told his family he had been frequently talking about Kathmandu, where he has several friends, leading them to believe he could have headed for the Nepali capital. Believed to be religious, Kumar, his family thinks, could have come to Kathmandu to visit the Pashupatinath temple, one of the holiest Hindu pilgrim sites. Their hopes were raised when there were reports that Kumar had been seen in the capital. An optimistic Ramesh Kumar, Kumar's elder brother, came to Kathmandu about a month ago to intensify the search. However, he drew a blank. But still hopeful, Ramesh Kumar put in an advertisement in the local papers before he left, giving a brief description of his brother as well as a photograph. Calls began pouring in after that, says the family's contact in Kathmandu, a Nepali businessman, whose phone numbers were given in the ad for readers to contact if they had come across Kumar. "Most of them were people visiting the Pashupatinath temple," said the contact, who declined to be named. "They were certain they had seen Kumar sitting near the shrine." However, a month after the advertisement was published, there is still no news of Kumar. "His brother called me up Saturday to ask if there was no clue," the Nepali businessman told IANS. "We are at the end of our tether. His children are ill. One way or the other, we wish there would be some information to set our hearts at rest." About two years ago, another similar advertisement had appeared in Nepali dailies with a man of Tibetan origin searching for his wife who went missing from Kathmandu.
