Jorhat, Aug. 25 :    Jorhat, Aug. 25:  It has been a long journey for Latika Katt. Head of the arts department at the Jamia Millia Islamia University, Delhi, Latika is camping in Upper Assam's Tinsukia district in search of her husband, Balbir Singh Katt, Dean of the faculty of visual arts at the Benaras Hindu University. A sculptor of international repute, Katt has been missing since he left home on January 30. He was reportedly last seen wandering in Tinsukia. Latika said though Katt had never visited Tinsukia, he was a nature lover and Assam's greenery might have attracted him. Many of his students in the BHU were also from Assam, she added. 'I arrived here on August 8 and have since been moving in and around tea gardens and villages and hanging up posters for any information about my husband,' Latika told The Telegraph over telephone. Latika said a senior police officer of Benaras had informed her about Katt's whereabouts in Tinsukia district. The officer had received a letter from one Rangan Bhuyan of Dhigal Tarang tea estate in the Doomdooma area on July 28. 'The letter informed that my husband had been spotted in the area. Subsequently, the officer informed me and here I am,' she added. Latika said Katt was spotted in the Choikhowa, Doomdooma and Chabua areas in the district by several people, many of whom she had talked to. 'Most of them said he was not in a right frame of mind and used to roam around in dirty clothes. He attracted their attention because of his fluency in English,' she added. Latika said her husband may have lost his mental balance after being given the short shrift by the authorities of the Benaras Hindu University. Katt was removed from the BHU's financial committee in April because he allegedly knew about misappropriation of a large amount of university funds. 'He was hounded out of Benaras,' she alleged. Latika said some of the people she talked to said Katt had mentioned having lost his way home. The Tinsukia district administration is providing all help to Latika to track down her husband. 'I am sure I will find him. He is somewhere here,' said Latika, who left for Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Tinsukia district, today in her search.
