Branch Manager of Canara Bank at Baramba in Cuttack district Tapan Kumar Sahu went missing in mysterious circumstances on Monday.
According to reports, Sahu had gone to the bank's Kalapathar branch for some work and was returning to Baramba when his mobile phone got switched off somewhere near Patani Chhak.
Unable to trace the whereabouts of Sahu, his relatives lodged a complaint, following which police have started an investigation into the matter.
“He went out of house at around 6 pm and later talked to the branch staffs at 9:45 pm. When I called him later, his phone was switched off. After that, we lodged a police complaint. We went through the CCTV footages but didn't find anything or any sign of an accident," said wife of Sahu.
Two staffs of the banks also went to find out in case there had been any accident on the Baramba-Kalapathar route. But they could not trace Sahu.
