Family Appeals for Safety as Investigation Opens in Balod Jail

Following the discovery of the letter, Verma’s relatives rushed to the local police station to file a missing-person report. In the letter, Verma addressed his sons, urging them to focus on studies and promising to support their ambitions—one dreaming of becoming a collector, the other a doctor. He also expressed gratitude to his wife for her lifelong support and apologized to his parents for not being able to care for them in old age. The family now seeks relocation to a safer environment, better schooling for the children, and protection from any further intimidation.
