Three days have already passed, but the Commissionerate Police is yet to get a lead in the missing of TCS employee Manab Patnaik, who has gone missing from the city since Monday.
Though the police have started a search operation to trace the missing techie, they could not progress in the investigation on the ground that the information provided by Manab’s parents was not sufficient. Meanwhile, Manab’s father Kambupani Patnaik on Thursday urged the police to find out the motorbike used by Manab on the day of his missing in order to get some clue to trace his son.
Manab’s father said his son had left home without his bike and took another black-coloured bike from a person of their locality on Monday morning. He said a betel shop owner at the KIIT Campus informed him that Manab had left for his office in a black-coloured bike after taking some mouth freshener from the shop.
Patnaik said Manab had joined TCS on May 28 this year as a trainee after leaving his job as a system administrator at the SAI International. “As he was new in the company, he had no problem with anybody and was content in his profession,” said Patnaik, adding, “My son is a silent-natured person. Most of the time, he prefers to stay at home; so he doesn’t have enmity with anyone.”
Patnaik said the family has already contacted relatives living in Balangir, Kalahandi, Titilagarh in the State and outside in Delhi and Hyderabad but has failed to get any clue of his son’s whereabouts.The local police are investigating Manab’s previous call records and his bank transactions to get some reliable clues to go ahead in the investigation.
