Amreli district police has initiated proceedings to bring back New Zealand-based non-Resident Gujarati(NRG) Shailesh Chandulal Popat who married Komal Ganatra in April 2008 and deserted her within 15 days.
The police have moved for repatriation of Popat on an FIR filed by Komal on February 17 this year.
Komal, a primary school teacher, was among 11 candidates from Gujarat who cleared UPSC's civil services examination in May this year and is awaiting her posting.
Speaking to the Indian Express over phone from Amreli, police sub-inspector N A Savanya of the Amreli Mahila Police Station, who is investigating the case, said: "I am preparing the documents to trace Popat with the help of Interpol and bring him back to Gujarat for interrogation."
She said it was taking time to get an Interpol notice issued against Popat because she was not conversant with the English language.
"I am getting things done with the help of my colleagues in the Amreli police," she said.
