Krishnagiri: While TikTok has been in news for all wrong reasons attracting criticism from all quarters, the mobile app, in a recent incident came to the aid of a Tamil Nadu woman!
The woman named Jayapradha found her abandoned husband on the app.
In 2017, Suresh, a native of Krishnagiri, left home for work and did not return. Jayapradha inquired with Suresh’s friends and relatives and when she did not get any lead, she went on to file a police complaint.
Though an FIR was registered, listing Suresh as a ‘missing person’, there was no progress in the case as per the reports.
A relative of the woman came across a video on the TikTok app in which he recognised a man identical to Suresh, along with a trans woman later identified as Rosy.
In order to ascertain, whether the man in the video is Suresh or not, he showed the video to Jayapradha. Later she confirmed that the man was indeed her husband.
Subsequently, she rushed to the Villupuram police station and alerted the officials, who then traced Suresh with the help of a transgender association in Villupuram.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Suresh left home since he was not happy with some developments in the family. He had fled to Hosur and had settled down as a mechanic in a tractor company.
The police counselled the couple and sent them back home.
Police said "We asked him whether he wanted to go back to his wife and kids. He agreed. Therefore, we sent the couple back."
