Mishra had applied for medical leave till April 23 but the corporation management asked him to join on April 21. Despite repeated instructions, Mishra failed to submit relevant documents pertaining to the leave, they said.

The CBI in February carried out searches at Mishra's Lucknow residence and Kanpur office in connection with the alleged multi-crore bank fraud in Uttarakhand in which some bank officials were also involved.

The agency later summoned the chief engineer to its Dehradun office but he failed to appear and is "reportedly missing", the sources said.
