Kottayam ∙ After 15 years, Appus (18) held his mother’s hand. Now the son is with his mother Puspa, a native of Kataplamtam. A file unexpectedly fell on the body during the search to identify Apus, who was in the government children’s home in Travancore under the Department of Women and Child Development!

After the death of her husband, Appus was left unfulfilled by Pushpa Changanassery Alphonsa Snehanivas at the age of three.

When the Snehanivas building was demolished as part of the rail development, the inmates were shifted first to Wakathanam and then to Nedumkunnam.

Pushpa, who wandered around for work, might not find out where her son was. So Appoos, who came to the children’s home in Travancore, completed the food craft course of the government and joined the hotel of KTDC.

In 2019, it was found that Appus was in Travancore, but Pushpa did not have the document proving that he was her son. The son also might not recognize his mother. Baburaj, the caretaker of the children’s home, saw Pushpa going back in tears.

Baburaj undertook the task of uniting mother and son. Baburaj visited all the places where Appoos stayed. During the inspection at the center in Nedumkunnam, a file fell on Baburaj’s body. Inside was a photograph of Pushpa and Appoos together.

Then things got faster. The Child Welfare Committee intervened. A DNA test was decided to prove the mother-son relationship. The examination fee of Rs 18,000 was paid by the Child Welfare Committee itself.

CWC Chairman Dr. Baburaj’s 7-month effort along with Arun Kurien, members Lalan C. Jacob, Sophie Mathew and Children’s Form Superintendent Binu John paid off. Apoos once more belongs to the mother.

Kochi / Dubai ∙ The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sought legal advice regarding recording the statement of expatriate businessman MA Yousafali in the Vadakancheri Life Mission Commission black money transaction and diplomatic parcel gold smuggling cases.

The ED issued a notice on 1st and 8th of this month to give a statement in connection with the case, but the inconvenience was reported. Legal advice was sought before issuing the notice once more for the third time. The ED’s position is that the statements of Yousafali, who the accused themselves believe to be extremely opposed to the crimes committed by the accused in a case directly related to national security, are very crucial for the investigation of the case.

Lulu Group Chairman M.A. Yousafali said that ED has not called him to give a statement and he is not afraid of the jabs on the social media. Lulu Group has expressed its willingness to cooperate with investigations. Statement will be given if requested.

Yousafali, as the Vice President of the UAE Chamber of Commerce, was in the delegation that handed over 20 crore rupees of aid from the Red Crescent, a voluntary organization in the UAE, to Life Mission. It is in this context that the ED is seeking information.
