Nishu Mahajan

Failing to trace the whereabouts of missing brother of Congress legislator Balbir Singh Balmiki even after five months, Haryana Government on Monday handed over the investigation to the state crime branch.

During the question hour in Haryana Assembly, Balbir Singh Balmiki, Congress MLA from Israna assembly constituency in Panipat district alleged that the missing complaint regarding his elder brother Jai Bhagwan was not taken seriously by the state police. The police did not take any action to search my brother… More than five months have passed and still, there is no trace of him.

 There is no information whether he was abducted, murdered or what happened to him, the MLA said.

An FIR was registered on July 6, 2021 under Section 365 of IPC (kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully) in Police Station-Israna in Panipat district after Jai Bhagwan went missing.
