"Our government is doing everything to trace Suhail. State police and investigative agencies are on the job and all efforts are being made to trace out the student," Patnaik said in a tweet reply to the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister.
Patnaik's reply came after Mehboob Mufti in a twitter post tagging the CMO Odisha said, "Concerning reports coming in about a Kashmiri student, Suhail Aijaz of Kupwara being kidnapped in Odisha. I request the authorities to investigate & take swift action."
The alleged Maoist poster was put up near Baramunda bus stand in Bhubaneswar claiming that Suhail has been kidnapped by them.
In the poster, the left wing extremists have threatened to kill Suhail if their leader Sabyasachi Panda, who is currently in jail, is not released within seven days.
