Hyderabad Missing Couple
Cloud TV Desk: A Hyderabad couple who travelled to Switzerland for a vacation has gone missing, prompting an international search and raising fresh questions after police uncovered allegations that they had collected nearly ₹50 crore from dozens of investors before leaving India. Authorities are investigating both the disappearance and the financial transactions, stressing that the allegations are still under investigation and no court has established wrongdoing.
The missing couple has been identified as Pabba Chandrasekhar (51) and his wife Swapna (42). According to their family, they left for Switzerland on June 22 for a holiday. They remained in regular contact with relatives during the initial days of the trip, but communication abruptly stopped on July 8, leading their daughter to file a missing persons complaint with the police.
Family members said the couple regularly updated them about their travel plans while in Switzerland. However, after July 8, repeated phone calls reportedly went unanswered, and their mobile phones became unreachable.
Concerned by the sudden silence, their daughter approached Hyderabad police, requesting immediate intervention. Authorities have since initiated efforts to trace the couple and are coordinating with relevant agencies to gather information about their last known movements abroad.
Investigators are examining travel records, immigration details, airline information, hotel bookings, and digital communication logs to determine what happened after the couple’s last contact with their family.
As the investigation progressed, police also began examining financial complaints linked to the couple.
According to preliminary findings cited by investigators, the couple allegedly collected around ₹50 crore from more than 60 investors, reportedly promising attractive returns through investment schemes.
Police have clarified that these are allegations currently under investigation. Authorities are verifying financial records, investor statements, and banking transactions to determine whether any criminal offence has occurred.
Officials have not announced any formal charges related to financial fraud at this stage, and no court has ruled on the allegations. Investigators are treating the financial aspect as a parallel line of inquiry while continuing the search for the missing couple. (ndtv.com)
Investigators are now pursuing two parallel investigations—one to locate the missing couple and another to verify the investment-related allegations.
Police are expected to seek assistance from central agencies and, if necessary, international authorities to trace the couple’s whereabouts. Officials are also contacting investors who claim to have deposited money with the couple and are collecting documentary evidence related to those transactions.
Authorities have urged the public not to jump to conclusions until the investigation is completed. They have emphasized that every allegation will be examined based on evidence and legal procedures.
The disappearance has generated significant public attention because it combines an international missing persons case with allegations involving a large amount of investor money. Whether the two developments are connected remains unclear.
For now, the family continues to appeal for information about the couple’s whereabouts, while investors await clarity on the status of their funds. Investigators say more details will emerge only after they complete verification of travel records and financial documents.
The case remains under active investigation, and officials have not ruled out any possibility regarding the couple’s disappearance.
