According to family sources, Mahapatra had booked a room in the hotel at Kalinga Nagar here on October 16 for three days and was supposed to check out at noon on Saturday (October 19). However, he did not respond calls from hotel authorities and sound of the calling bell. Following which, the caretaker informed the hotel owner, who alerted police.
