Bhubaneswar: A three-member team of commissionerate police which had gone to Kolkata in search of Suhail Ajjaz, a Kashmiri student of AIIMS-Bhubaneswar, returned empty handed after it failed to trace his whereabouts.
Talking to media persons, Bhubaneswar DCP Satyabrata Bhoi said the investigation is on and the commissionerate police is in constant touch with the Kolkata and Jammu & Kashmir police.
The Odisha Police in association with its West Bengal and Jammu & Kashmir counterparts and the Central Intelligence Bureau had a frantic search for Suhail, but to no avail.
The commissionerate police began probe after being informed about the missing of Suhail by the AIIMS authorities.
On hearing the news, Suhail’s father Ajjaz Ahmed Kataria, who teaches at a government-run school in Kupwara, rushed to Bhubaneswar and lodged an FIR with the Khandagiri police on February 19.
An MBBS second-year student, Suhail left the hostel on February 9 telling his friends that he was leaving for a marriage in Chandigarh and would return in a week. He said he will be travelling through Kolkata. But as he did not return even after nine days, his classmates informed college authorities.
Meanwhile, the desperate mother of Suhail has urged her son on the social media to return. Along with the mother, his friends and younger brother Musharaff Parvez have also requested him to come back to his native place.
Some friends of Suhail said he was not happy studying medicine. He wanted to complete MBBS and shift to Humanities. He was keen on Urdu poetry. Before leaving the hostel, Suhail had left a note stating that he was not happy.
