The cctv footage failed to establish the identity of the two visitors who ran away with a four-wheeler from a hotel here leaving police in a tizzy.
Sources said the police are now asking the hotel staff to describe their look.
The two visitors identifying themselves as Rudra Pratap Singh and Sahil Singh booked a room here in a posh hotel on the evening of August 7. The ID proof of one read as one from Katihar’s Barari place. The purpose of visit was described as ‘survey’ in hotel register by them.
last year a team of NIA officials had tracked down two youths after the Patna Gandhi Maidan blast. The two, both Muslims, were living here as Hindus. These two Rudra Pratap and Sahil checked out of the hotel on August 8 morning in a hired four wheeler said
OC Daltonganj police station Byas Ram.
The four wheeler is missing/traceless since then while a heavily sedated driver of the vehicle Ganesh is sobering up in hospital said the police officer. The driver is still incoherent in his detail added police officer.
According to Daltonganj police these two checked out from the hotel with room’s key in which they had spent their night. When the police raided this room the police found one empty bag and a shirt which is not of much help.
Daltonganj police are anxious as to what the ‘Survey’ meant as the two wrote it in the hotel register. Were the two on any look out of any soft target or were just vehicle liftersIJ Again Barari in Katihar is a place from where infiltration from the neighbouring country Bangladesh is not a ruled out case. The stolen four wheeler could be used in any destructive mission as Independence Day is just days away said other source in police here. Hotel sources said the two wanted the vehicle to go to Nagar Untari but in fact went to Aurangabad on NH 98 and here the driver was badly sprayed by them. The sedated driver was found out after great efforts.
