Two women claiming to be wife of missing millionaire

KLANG – The case of the Indian millionaire who disappeared after arriving in Malaysia in January has spawned an interesting side show.Two women are now claiming they are the wife of the man. S. Ramalakshmi, a teacher from Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, said the 24-year-old woman who came to Malaysia to report that A. Muthuraja had gone missing on Sept 8, was not legally his wife.In the report, S. Usharani had said that Muthuraja was her husband.

Muthuraja, believed to be a multi-millionaire, disappeared after coming to Malaysia to meet the two lawyer brothers who were arrested in connection with the murder of cosmetics tycoon Sosilawati Lawiya and three others.Ramalakshmi, 36, does not have any children with Muthuraja, 37.She said she became Muthuraja's wife through an arranged marriage.“Muthuraja and I married in 2001 in a grand ceremony in Chennai, attended by many dignitaries and politicians,” the elementary school teacher said when contacted by The Star in India yesterday.

Ramalakshmi said although she and her husband had been estranged for the past three years, she was confident they could have reconcile.Ramalakshmi said she had not seen her husband for three years until about a week before his trip to Malaysia in January.“I was walking to school and he passed by in his car while on the way to his estate, which is not very far from where I teach.“We did not speak but he smiled at me,” said a tearful Ramalakshmi.

She said Muthuraja would go on long trips to Russia and Malaysia from the time they were married to tend to his businesses there.“He would always come back and I was used to not having him around all the time even before we became estranged,” she said.She also said Muthuraja had brought the two lawyer brothers to her father’s house in Tirunelveli for a meal about five years ago.Asked what she thought about the turn of events, Ramalakshmi said: “There is a strong possibility that my husband was involved in questionable activities.“He doesn’t even have to come back to me or acknowledge me. I only want my husband to be alive,” she said, according to The Star.
