Krishnagar (WB), April 19
A nodal officer of the Election Commission in-charge of EVMs and VVPATs posted at Krishnagar under Ranaghat parliamentary constituency in Nadia district, is missing for over 24 hours, an official said Friday.
Arnab Roy, 30, left his official quarters here for poll duty at Bipradas Choudhury Polytechnic College yesterday morning but was not spotted since afternoon, said a senior Nadia police officer. His vehicle was, however, found parked outside the college here, he said.
Sources said his two mobile phones were switched off and their last location was detected to be near Shantipur, also in Nadia district. “After Shantipur, his location could not be detected as his phones were off. This is making it difficult for us to locate him,” another police officer said. Initial investigation revealed that Roy allegedly had a tiff with Nadia District Magistrate Sumit Gupta, who was also his neighbour, a few days ago over some operational duties regarding elections. Gupta, however, denied having any altercation with Roy.
“Whoever has told you such a thing has given wrong information. Nothing has happened between us. We have initiated a search for him,” he said. — PTI
