Aman Kumar has been missing for eight days in Athmalgola, Bihar, prompting his family to file an FIR against five suspects, while locals staged a protest that clogged the Mokama‑Bakhtiyarpur highway for three hours.
Aman Kumar, a resident of the Athmalgola police station area in Bihar's flood‑prone zone, has not been found for eight days. His relatives, fearing abduction, lodged a first‑information report naming one individual and four others as possible kidnappers.
The prolonged disappearance has sparked outrage among villagers, who gathered on the Mokama‑Bakhtiyarpur four‑lane road to demand swift action. The protest caused a traffic standstill that lasted about three hours, disrupting commuters and highlighting community frustration.
Local police have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, but no concrete leads have emerged so far. Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the urgency of locating the missing man.
The incident underscores the challenges faced by residents in flood‑affected districts, where law‑enforcement resources are often stretched thin. Continued community pressure is expected as the search enters its second week.
Officials have not disclosed further details about the suspects or the circumstances of the disappearance, pending further inquiry.
