Almost 10 days after a 50-year-old security Inspector of CCL Giridih, Jaiprakash Singh alais Bhola Singh, went missing from the Bhadua area since July 1, his wife Renu Devi has lodged a complaint with the local Muffasil police station.
Sources said Jaiprakash Singh, originally from Bihar, was working with a CCL mine in Bhaduadih area for the last 15 years. He was staying at his CCL quarter in Giridih.
According to his son Manish, his father left house for Muffasil police station in the evening of July 1 but did not return. His phone was also switched off, but his clothes and shoes and other meterials were found near mines area and NDRF team today recovered his motorbike from CCL well near Bhaduadih, which made his relatives suspect foul play.
As on Wednesday, Jaiprakash Singh’s wife Renu Devi said: “On July 1, 2019, my husband, like other days, left the house late in the evening at 8 pm for security reviews. We thought he had gone inside the mines area and will return. However, when he did not come back till next morning, we got worried and called on his cellphone. It was switched off. Later, I contacted top of the CCL authority in Giridih about his disappearance.”
Manish, son of Jaiprakash Singh, however, said never father never switched off his cellphone. “This is the first time my father has been out of home for 10 days and his mobile is also not working,” Muffasil Police failed to trace my father and we have been running to the police station time and again to press their demand for tracing out my father, the police have done nothing except giving assurance that my father will return back soon, the son added.
Renu Devi, Jaiprakash Singh’s wife who came to media person recently, said: “My husband has not turned up either here or at any relatives till now. It’s been 10 days since he is traceless, leaving us with no other option but to register a missing complaint with the Muffasil police.”
Family members claimed he was not suffering from any depression, as he was happy with his professional life.
A senior police official of Mufasil police station Ratnesh Mohan Thakur said: “We have registered a missing complaint and started investigation in the case.”
