Bihar engineering student missing in Bangalore

• •
Mystery shrouds the ‘disappearance’ of Shams Tarbez, a young man from Patna, who was in Bangalore for the last 45 days undergoing his internship with Dell as part of an MBA programme.
Shams TarbezA resident of Sabzibagh in Patna, Tarbez, after completing his engineering degree from Nagpur, was pursuing an MBA course from Amity University (Noida). Since early May, he was staying in Bangalore (210, Parivar Prince Apartment, Behind Vijaya Enclave, Bilekahalli, Bangalore-500076) along with five friends.

However, on June 26, Tarbez’s father Shahid Hussain received a call here in Patna from one of the friends saying that Tarbez had been drowned in Gokarna beach in Uttara Kannada district. The distraught father rushed to Gokarna only to find an indifferent police, which gave him nightmares before finally lodging an FIR (No 43(A)/2010) at Gokarna police station.

Though the police and Tarbez’s friends maintain that he died after he was drowned while having bath, the aggrieved father is not prepared to buy this theory.

“My son was a good swimmer. And he had lived in seashore areas too, when he was working for ONGC in Mumbai,” Hussain told Deccan Herald on Thursday.Hussain suspects a foul play and believes that his son had been a victim of a gang involved in the sale of kidney and other human organs.

“All these boys who took my son to Om beach in Gokarna and the driver of the Tavera vehicle (whose registration number is KA-01C-8366), should be detained for custodial interrogation so as to unravel the truth,” said Hussain holding back his tears.

“If my son got drowned, where is the body? And why these boys made no attempt to save him if he was actually drowning. Neither the police have found his dead body, nor the boys grilled (apparently because one of the boys’ close kin is an IG-rank officer).
“Even the postmortem report which we got is written in Kannada, an alien language to  us. The attitude and behaviour of the Gokarna police has been so uncooperative that the less said the better,” the distressed father said, while sending a petition (a copy of which is with Deccan Herald) to Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and the DGPs of Karnataka and Bihar, alongwith the President, the PM and the Chief Justice of India, seeking a CBI probe.
