Murder Turn Missing - A. Muthuraja's Family Conflicts
First Wife Claims
CHENNAI: Missing Indian businessman A. Muthuraja’s first wife S. Ramalakshmi has demanded that any items belonging to her husband should be returned to her and not to his second wife S. Usharani.
“If they find anything belonging to my husband, it should be handed over to me or his parents,” Ramalakshmi said from her home in Thirunelveli.
She said India did not recognise polygamy or second wives.
“I am his only wife by virtue of being legally married to him,” said the 36-year-old schoolteacher.
She also lambasted Usharani for harping on her tumultuous relationship with her husband.
“Husbands and wives have their issues as well as troubles.
“We are having ours now but that does not mean we are no longer a married couple,” she said.
Ramalakshmi also said she was devastated to learn that Muthuraja might have been murdered in Malaysia.
“I don’t know what to say. It’s very painful for me,” she added.
Her father R. Subbiah said Ramalakshmi had taken the news very badly and had “collapsed in grief at their family home upon hearing the news”.
“She has taken it very badly. We are all shattered,” he added.
Meanwhile, one of Muthuraja’s relatives, who declined to be named, said efforts had been made to reconcile the couple.
Ramalakshmi said Muthuraja’s frequent travelling had put a strain on their marriage.
Second Wife - Being Called Gold Digger
KLANG: Tired of being called a gold digger, S. Usharani – the second wife of missing Indian businessman A. Muthuraja – has lashed out at her in-laws, accusing them of coveting her husband’s wealth.
“They have been against me since we got married. They wanted my husband’s property from the beginning,” said Usharani, 24.
She also claimed that her husband had been at loggerheads with his family a few months before he went missing.
The woman, who bore Muthuraja a daughter, also dismissed allegations by his family that she was having marital problems.
“My husband’s property does not matter to me. If they want it so badly, they can have it,” she said, adding that her mother-in-law had no right to badmouth her.
A. Ramalakshmi had claimed that her son Muthuraja was not on good terms with Usharani and that he wanted to leave her but could not as she had threatened him with suicide.
Muthuraja was reported missing early this year and his disappearance has been linked to the suspects in the murder of cosmetics queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others.
In another deverlopment, Usharani was called again to the Kuala Langat police headquarters to explain the discrepancies contained in her recorded statement to the police on Thursday and the memorandum she submitted to Bukit Aman yesterday.
Earlier, Usharani, accompanied by Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam, submitted a handphone containing important recordings of a telephone conversation and a memorandum to the Bukit Aman police headquarters.
Manikavasagam said Usharani would be called again today to have her statement recorded.
