Haridwar SSP asked to appear in Delhi High Court

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday asked a senior police official of Uttarakhand and others to appear before it on the plea of a man whose minor son went missing under mysterious circumstances two months ago.

“Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Haridwar, and other officials concerned are hereby directed to personally appear before this court on July two,” a vacation Bench of Justices Manmohan Singh and Suresh Kait said.

The Bench also asked the Haridwar police to bring some colour photographs of a dead body allegedly recovered from Ganga on April 16 this year. The court’s direction came on the petition of Santa Kishore Acharya, a Delhi resident, whose 16-year-old son Subhakanta went missing hours after he reported to duty at Haridwar as a plumber. The victim, employed as a plumber with a Delhi-based proprietorship firm, M/s B C Patra Sanitation, was asked to go to Haridwar with others to work in an under-construction house there on April 11, the petition filed through counsel G P Ray, said. Four days after, the parents of the boy were informed that he drowned in Ganga and asked to come over for identifying the body.

Mr. Acharya, in the petition, said the recovered body was not of his son and suspected that the owner of the firm and others have got his son kidnapped. - PTI
