Bhubaneswar: The car of the four persons, who went missing on December 10 while on their way back to Odisha after attending a wedding reception at Kanker in Chhattisgarh, was found in an abandoned open well alongside Kanker-Kondagam highway on Monday.
According to sources, it is suspected that the four persons, identified as Sapan Sarkar, his wife Itishree, brother-in-law Biswajit Adhikari and his neighbour Hajari Dhali, drowned after the car fell into the well following a tyre burst.
Umerkote IIC Deepak Kumar Jena told the media that the bodies are being retrieved from the car after it was pulled out of the well, located around 8 km away from Kanker, using a crane.
It was earlier suspected that they might have been kidnapped. A missing complaint was also filed at a police station in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker and there was no trace of them even after 36 hours when they went incommunicado when returning to Odisha. They had left Kanker around 10.30 pm and were supposed to visit a relative’s house in Kondagam, Chhattisgarh, around 80 km away from Kanker. They were last spotted at a filling station and after travelling 5 km thereafter, their phones were found switched off.
Sapan was a supervisor at Raighar tehsil office.
