The disappearance of 34-year-old Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) supervisor Sanjay Chutel continues to remain shrouded with mystery as his body was not found nor were his whereabouts detected after 48 hours of his missing.
Concerned with the disappearance of Sanjay in a mysterious way, the police have intensified search operations and have started taking every possible step to unravel the mystery.
Father of a five-year-old child, Sanjay had left home early on Thursday morning, revealing his wife Sudha Devi that he was going for a special work. Later in the evening, the family members discovered a suicide note which triggered fear in their mind, leading them to lodge a complaint with the Kadma thana alleging the JNAC supervisor might have taken a decision to end his life due to scolding by his boss at the civic body.
Sanjay also left his cell phone at home, making the family members as well as the police to get puzzled further.
Revealing about the investigation, OC of Kadma thana, Manoj Thakur said that they had obtained the call details record (CDR) of Sanjay's cellphone on Saturday but could not get any clue from the CDR.
"The missing supervisor had made on average 50 calls a day during the last week. The calls he made was either to his family members, relatives, departmental colleagues or to his friends. None of the calls was such that it might draw attention. Despite that, we spoke to each of those who had talked to Sanjay during the past one week," said Thakur while talking to The Telegraph Online.
The OC said apart from trying to detect a clue from the Sanjay's cell phone CDR, they scanned the CCTV footage of the Shastrinagar locality in Kadma where Sanjay resided and also at the Tatanagar railway station as well as Sitaramdera bus terminus.

"There is no CCTV camera installed near his house at Shastri Nagar in Kadma, but we scanned the footage of the surveillance camera installed at a little distance away from his house but in vain. We checked the footage of the surveillance cameras installed at Tatanagar railway station and also at the Sitaramdera bus terminus meticulously, but did not find his image anywhere," informed the OC.
He said the police also talked to the JNAC workers with whom Sanjay would pass time together and also with his relatives, as well as friends, having summoned them at the police station on Saturday morning. Everyone gave a general impression about the missing supervisor that they did not saw any such unusual behaviour in him that would lead him to commit suicide.
Thakur said they are also taking the stock of bodies at the MGM Medical College mortuary and also at the mortuaries of Seraikela Sadar Hospital as well as Chaibasa Sadar Hospital, but found no such body resembling the feature of Sanjay.
"Finally, one aspect which might be linked to the disappearance of Sanjay is a probable extra-marital affair. We have, therefore, decided to talk to some of his close friends and try to find out whether he had an affair," the OC pointed out, adding that they have kept every other option open in the investigation.
