A member of Prashant Kishor ‘s Jan Suraaj communication team reportedly went missing while travelling from Jharkhand’s Ranchi to Bihar’s Patna on Monday.
He was travelling on the Jan Shatabdi Express when he went missing from the moving train, news agency PTI reported. Devpalik Gupta was associated with the Jan Suraaj Party as a digital communication manager and was an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi. When the train stopped at Muri Junction, they lodged a complaint with the Government Railway Police (GRP). Meanwhile, counting of votes for the biennial elections to eight Bihar Legislative Council seats is underway amid tight security.
The results will determine the electoral fate of 90 candidates contesting four graduates’ constituency seats and 60 candidates in four teachers’ constituencies, he said.
A joint team of local police and RPF personnel is searching for Gupta, another official said.
“Thereafter, we left our berth and went to the pantry car next to our coach, but we did not find him.
Then we checked every coach, but he was nowhere on the train,” he said.
