The family has sought the foreign minister Sushma Swaraj’s intervention in the case to take up the matter with the Philippines authorities immediately. They claimed that there was no information about Talwinder and his suspected kidnapping. A pal of gloom had descended on the locality when the news of Lalit’s murder and his missing uncle was spread a couple of days ago.
Lalit’s uncles Naresh Kumar and Ashwani Kumar said that their cousin Talwinder was also working as a financier in the Philippines and since he had gone missing, the contact number of his son was also out of reach. They said, “Lalit’ s body has been handed over to the family and will be cremated there. They also demanded a fair probe in Lalit’ s murder case.
