The two were said to be in deep love for the last six years. Kalyani had gone missing from Chennai since September 2021. A complaint was also filed in Tamil Nadu after she went missing.

Using his influence, the minister had managed to trace the couple at Pune and taken his daughter back home.

It is alleged that Kumar was kept under house arrest for the last two months. He managed to escape and reportedly eloped with Kalyani three days ago. The family members and relatives of Kumar are said to have been confined to their houses.

“If we return to Chennai we are sure that we will not be alive. My husband was in illegal police custody for almost two months. We need protection from the police. Since we cannot get any help from the Tamil Nadu police, we have requested the Bengaluru police commissioner to consider our request and provide protection,” Kalyani told the media at the Commissioner’s office.
