A 27-year-old man from Lasudia, Indore, has been missing for a month. CCTV footage disproved his friends' statement that they dropped him on a train to Odisha.
Ganesh, a 27-year-old resident of the Lasudia locality in Indore, vanished a month ago after embarking on a trip to Odisha. His family reported his disappearance to the local police, who opened an investigation into his whereabouts.
Friends of the missing youth later claimed that they had escorted him to a train station and that he boarded a train bound for Odisha. However, surveillance cameras at the station captured no evidence of Ganesh boarding any train, directly contradicting their statements.
Following the CCTV revelation, Ganesh's relatives approached the Indore Police Commissioner, expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of the case by the Lasudia police unit and seeking immediate assistance. Authorities have now intensified their search efforts and are reviewing additional footage and witness accounts.
The investigation remains ongoing, with police urging anyone with relevant information to come forward, while the family continues to hope for a safe return.
