An Assam-based doctor who was allegedly kidnapped from here has returned home after 12 days but refused to share any information with police, adding mystery to his abduction probe.
The incident has also brought under scanner the guest records of Assam Bhavan and Arunachal Bhavan in Delhi, where the prime suspect in the case - who is known to the doctor - is believed to have stayed, a senior police official said.
Multiple teams are working on the case, with one each been sent to Rajasthan, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh. Today, the five-member team, which was already in Arunachal Pradesh since September 30, was sent to Dibrugarh to get the entire story. However, the doctor has refused to talk to the team, said the senior official.
According to police, the doctor, identified as Hemhari Pegu, owns a private hospital in Assam's Dibrugarh town, had come to Delhi on September 23. In the evening, he went out of the hotel claiming that he had to get tatkal tickets done for Chandigarh but went missing thereafter.
On September 25, his wife called up the police and reported that he was untraceable for the past two days. A police team was sent to the central Delhi hotel where the doctor had lodged himself and it turned out that he was last seen on September 23 evening. A missing report was registered immediately.
On September 27, the doctor's wife reported that she had received a call from an unidentified person who claimed that the doctor had borrowed Rs five crore from him.
