Greater Noida sales executive missing since July 4, family demands probe

NOIDA: A 25-year-old sales executive working with a private company has allegedly been missing for the past eight days but family has alleged little movement in the case despite that his bank account has had two ATM withdrawals during this period.
Sunil Kumar, a resident of Panchsheel Hynish society in Sector 1 of Greater Noida, went after he was dropped off by his colleague outside his society’s gate number 1 on the evening of July 4.
According to the family, the executive had left for office in Sector 88 around 6.30am on July 4.
“His colleague Anirudh Kumar had dropped him to the society gate that evening but he failed to reach home. His phone is switched off since then. We had tried to check his bank account for transactions and were informed the next day by a bank in Sector 63 that an ATM withdrawal of Rs 4,000 was made from an ATM in Ghaziabad’s Kaushambi around 9pm on July 4. Another ATM withdrawal of Rs 8,000 was made around 10am on July 7 from Nagpur,” he said.
While the police has sought the CCTV footage from the banks concerned, Sunil’s brother Yogendra told TOI that there has been little movement in the case since then.
“It’s been eight days now but still we haven’t received any clue about who operated the ATM. If only we get to know that he himself is operating it, we would be relieved but it is clearly not happening. We just want a confirmation that he is fine. My parents are very worried and we are afraid of a mishappening. He have heard that the CCTV footage can come within 48 hours too if the process is expedited,” he said.
A group of residents met the police station incharge on Sunday to demand action in the case.
When contacted, DCP (central Noida) Harish Chander told TOI that if the missing complaint had been lodged, police would have given a request for the CCTV footage of the concerned ATM to the bank but it usually takes at least seven days to be given.
“Since the CCTV footage is shared by the head offices of the bank concerned, it usually takes at least seven days to be shared with the police. However, the bank can be asked expedite the same,” he said.
