Telangana HC directs DGP to submit report on missing cases
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: Taking serious note of the Hyderabad Police's failure to find a boy who went missing from the city six years ago, the Telangana High Court on Thursday questioned the police machinery on how they failed to trace a missing person's whereabouts despite claiming to have the latest technology to trace a missing person within 24 hours. Venugopal directed Telangana DGP M. Mahender Reddy to provide a detailed report on the number of missing cases registered so far, as well as how many were traced and how many remained untraced. During the hearing on the habeas corpus petition on Thursday, the division bench pulled up the police for failing to conduct proper investigations in missing persons cases. The bench ordered the police to submit details of unidentified missing persons cases as soon as the courts reopen after the Dussehra holidays.
