       EIGHTY-year-old mother Theivani is fraught with worry. Her son, M. Kesavan, has been missing from a hospital in Jempul since July 25, Makkal Osai reported.

       The 55-year-old had been receiving treatment for Covid-19.

       His sister, Shanthi, said that the hospital was informed by the family that they were to be notified of her brother’s discharge as Kesavan suffers from memory loss.

       Kesavan, however, was discharged without the family’s knowledge, she said.

       He is believed to have taken a taxi in Jempul and gotten off in Bahau as he did not have enough money to return to Seremban Jaya, where he lives with his mother, Theivani.

       Seremban Jaya assemblyman P. Guna met with Theivani at her home and promised to help file a police report for her missing son.
