A call taxi driver, who was allegedly taken for questioning by a police constable, is reported to be missing. The driver’s neighbor constable is also missing.
Police said Ravi, a 26-year-old driver resident of 17th Avenue, KK Nagar, and Senthil Kumar, a constable working in Koyambedu police station, were neighbors. Recently, both of them had a fight over a small matter.
Police said Mr Kumar was shifted to Sembiam police station a few weeks ago and was assigned security duty. However, he was on leave citing a family function. Mr. Ravi’s wife Aishwarya alleged that Mr. Kumar and two other policemen took her husband on the pretext of interrogation on May 31 and since then he has not returned home. When she went to Koyambedu station, the police said that she was not brought there. After this he lodged a complaint with KK Nagar police station.
A senior police officer said that a hunt is on for the call taxi driver. “We are analyzing some cases of suspected death, including partially burnt bodies found near Chengalpattu. The investigation is on,” he said.
The partially burnt body has been sent to the Government General Hospital, Chengalpattu. Police have detained Mr. Kumar’s aide Kavita for questioning and have started a search for her.
