Four Of Family Go Missing While Returning To Odisha From Wedding Reception In Chhattisgarh

Nabarangpur: It has been 36 hours since three members of a family of Odisha’s Raighar went incommunicado while on their way back home in a car after attending a wedding in Chhattisgarh.

The missing persons have been identified Sapan Sarkar, his wife Itishree, brother-in-law Biswajit Adhikari and his neighbour Hajari Dhali. Sapan is a supervisor at Raighar tehsil office.

A missing complaint had been filed at a police station in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker.

According to sources, the four had gone to Kanker on December 10 to attend a wedding. While returning home on Saturday night, they decided to stay at Biswajit’s native place at Kondagaon. “They started at around 10.30 pm and their phones were found switched off after they had travelled around 5 km. We have lodged a missing report and a search operation has been launched,” said Sapan’s daughter-in-law Swapna Sarkar.

His son Navojit frantically tried to contact them but in vain.

The last CCTV footage of them was at a filling station where they had stopped to refuel the car at around 10 pm.

The family suspect that they might have been kidnapped.
