Deputy manager of real estate firm goes missing from Gurugram’s MG Road
According to employees of the firm, the missing person was last seen around 7pm on Thursday in the parking lot outside Vatika Triangle, adjacent to MG Road, near MG Road Metro station.
A 51-year-old employee of a real estate firm went missing from MG Road on Thursday evening. Police have registered a case and an investigation is under way.
The missing person, Dipankar Ghosal, is a deputy manager at Vatika Hotels, a hospitality arm of Vatika Group, a real estate firm. An FIR was registered at Sector 29 police station at 10.30am on Friday. The case was registered on the basis of a complaint filed by Sukhinder Bir Singh, chief vigilance officer at Vatika Group. Police said Ghosal’s mobile phone was switched off and could not be contacted.
According to the employees of Vatika, he was last seen around 7pm on Thursday in the parking lot outside Vatika Triangle adjacent to MG Road, near MG Road Metro station. “At 7pm, Ghosal had signed out via the biometric system at Vatika. Before that he had messaged his wife saying he will be home late from work,” Ashish Chakraborty, an employee at Vatika, said.
“Around 6pm, he asked for Rs 500 from a colleague and we didn’t think there was anything unusual about it. We enquired about his whereabouts, but to no avail,” Chakraborty said.
Ghosal’s office is barely 900 metres from his home in Saraswati Vihar. “On most days, he made it back from work on foot,” Chakraborty said. Around 9am on Friday, when the office opened, the employees realised he was missing after his wife called to enquire if he had shown up for work. “We filed a missing person complaint shortly after at Sector 29 police station,” Singh said. Ghosal lives with his wife and two children — a 10-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl.
“We have taken his call detail record and have also recorded the statement of his family members,” Anil Kumar, ACP (DLF), said.
