Crown prosecutors say the husband of a missing New Westminster, B.C., woman is facing a criminal charge for allegedly threatening his wife's safety last month, but the couple's daughter says that case is "completely separate" from her mother's disappearance. Rishi Deo Sharma is accused of threatening his wife, Nirla Sharma, with death or bodily harm on Jan. 25. My dad loves my mom more than anything in this world," said Vanessa Sharma, 20. A missing poster for New Westminster, B.C., woman Nirla Sharma is pictured in downtown Vancouver on Friday. Vanessa Sharma, 20, said criminal proceedings against her father are irrelevant to the search for her mother, who disappeared on Sunday.
