Mr. Sameer is a software engineer employed in Dublin. “The Dublin police are in touch with the family regarding investigation and further formalities. The consulate is in touch with me. All support required by the Dublin police and the family in Periyapatna is being provided by the Mysuru police,” Mr. Ryshyant said.
