Hyderabad: A Russian has approached the police requesting help to find his ‘missing son’. Police found that the complainant, Alex Ermakov, 31, had married a Hyderabadi woman named Sanam ul Haq, who is now refusing to give custody of their son to her husband.

Alex alleged that his wife tried to extort money from him when he asked for his son’s custody. Alex, who came back to India to get his three-year-old son Nestor Ermakov’s custody, could not find his wife and her family. He said his wife had been avoiding his calls since five months.

“I wanted my son’s custody as she had sought divorce. But, now she and her mother have vacated the house we used to live in earlier at Alwal. Since I could not find them, I had to approach the police,” Alex said.

He said that he had met Sanam a few months back in Nepal with another person. She had then promised to hand over the kid as soon as she reaches Hyderabad.

Alex said he met Sanam in Goa in 2012. Their son was born in 2013. In 2014 February, they got married in Hyderabad. Later, the couple went to Russia. Since her visa expired she came back to India with the kid. Alwal police said Sanam came back to India after quarrels over money and family matters.
