Missing Indian woman has cops, relatives baffled

Fort Myers, Florida: Kultar Goraya’s wife, Rupinder, disappeared two months ago. Police say he is the only “person of interest” and they cannot get a single straight story out of him.

Soon after Rupinder vanished, he abandoned his job and took their handicapped 3-year-old son Sam back to India, then abruptly returned to Florida with the boy when relatives demanded to know what happened to his wife. He claimed that Rupinder was having affairs with two men. Maybe she ran off with a lover, or she is with friends, he speculated. However, he could not provide credible names for people he said she knew well.

He gave a telephone number for one woman, but she said she did not know Rupinder. Fort Myers police cite similar changes in Kultar’s stories. They say they have found no evidence of another man. Friends and relatives say that was not Rupinder’s character. Personal items were found in her apartment that she would not have left behind and she would not have left her son, they say.

Detectives say that while Kultar’s stories changed too much during their two interviews with him to be believable, they do not have enough grounds to arrest him. “There’s no physical evidence that she has met with foul play. But all things considered, it certainly looks suspicious,” Detective Jeff Nibarger said.

Kultar and Rupinder and Sam had moved to Florida last year from Punjab. Their five-year marriage was arranged and they never seemed happy, said Rupinder’s aunt, Parneet Othee, who lives in Virginia.

In May, Kultar was arrested for allegedly choking his wife in a drunken rage. Police said he threatened to kill her, but the couple later reconciled. Rupinder’s aunt is worried. Detectives too fear the worst.


Indians aborting unwanted girls in Britain: Study
London: Researchers at Oxford University have found that a number of Indian-born women living in Britain are aborting unwanted daughters in order to have more boys, only because of cultural pressure.

In fact, the researchers found that many Indian women in Britain are undergoing the sex selective abortion in their home country — a practice outlawed in India since the 1980s.
