Kundan Kumar has been missing for two months in Patna, with no leads. His relatives allege that his friend Surya Solanki may have abducted and killed him, fearing his body could be in the Ganga.
Patna authorities are still searching for 27-year-old Kundan Kumar, who vanished two months ago and whose whereabouts remain unknown. Despite extensive inquiries, investigators have not uncovered any concrete leads or physical evidence linking to his disappearance.
Kumar's family has publicly accused his close associate, Surya Solanki, of being involved in an alleged kidnapping and murder. Relatives claim that the friend had motive and opportunity, and they have urged law enforcement to scrutinise his movements during the period of the disappearance.
Police officials, however, have not confirmed any arrest or formal charge against Solanki, stating that the case is still under active investigation. The investigation remains open, with officers combing the city and surrounding areas for any sign of the missing man.
Adding to the family's concerns, they have expressed fear that Kumar's body may have been disposed of in the Ganga River, a possibility that has prompted calls for thorough searches along the riverbanks and nearby stretches.
The case continues to draw public attention in Bihar, with local media closely following developments as authorities work to locate the missing individual and determine the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
