The Commissionerate Police (CP), after ending its inquiry into the missing of Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) officer Ibrahim Sharif, has written to the State Home Department to take further steps to trace the officer. It was stated by Twin City Police Commissioner RP Sharma at a Press meet here on Wednesday.
Dr Sharma said the city police didn’t get any tangible information about the IBM officer. The police team has already spent more than two months outside of the State to trace the officer, but in vain.
As it is an inter-State case, Sharma said, it needs to be probed by a higher agency which has branches across the country.
Earlier, the Union Ministry of Mines had called a meeting at the IBM head office in Nagpur on Friday last in the presence of Ministry officials and IBM officials of Kanpur and Bhubaneswar where they discussed about Ibrahim’s missing. The officials had discussed about a high-level inquiry like that by the CBI to trace the officer.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim’s wife has already demanded the State Government to recommend a CBI probe into her husband’s missing case.
Ibrahim, who hails from Karnataka and lived with his family at Nigam Vihar in Phase-II of Kanan Vihar in Bhubaneswar, has been untraceable after he left for his office on November 25 last year.
