According to a report in Ahmedabad Mirror, Santokh Singh had come to Ahmedabad to meet his grandson but was missing from Friday afternoon, which prompted the family members to file a missing complaint with Vastrapur police.

It has also been alleged that the octogenarian was neither allowed to meet nor speak to his grandson. The report further states that he had visited his daughter’s residence on December 1 but wasn’t entertained by the family.

“He expressed a wish to meet his grandson on his birthday on December 5. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to meet Jasprit. On December 8, Santokh called his son Balvinder Singh, who lives in Jharkhand, and told him that he was leaving to meet his deceased wife,” the complaint was quoted saying by the Ahmedabad Mirror.

The missing complaint was filed by Rajinder Kaur Bumrah, the daughter of Santokh Singh. “When we went to meet Jasprit’s mother Daljit Kaur at a city school where she is a teacher, she refused to allow my father any contact with Jasprit. She even refused to share her son’s phone number so that father could talk to him. My father was grief-stricken by this. He left home on Friday afternoon and never returned,” Rajinder was quoted as saying by Ahmedabad Mirror.

Bumrah is currently part of the Indian side taking on Sri Lanka in the three-match ODI series.
