Missing KRIDL engineer traced to Mumbai after 40 days
According to the police, Mr. Parvez was found near Bandra railway station on October 22, following an extensive search across Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh
Assistant Executive Engineer Parvez Dharwad, 34, of Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL), went missing on September 13 after leaving for Bengaluru. The Gadag police traced him to Mumbai on October 22 after an extensive search across multiple states. Mr. Dharwad was found near Bandra railway station and was in good health when brought back to Gadag for questioning.
He was located despite a missing-person case being registered by his father, Jaffersab Dharwad, who reported that his son had claimed to be traveling to Bengaluru for an official meeting but never returned. The note allegedly left by Mr. Dharwad mentioned a shortage of government funds and delays in payments for completed works, raising concerns over issues with contractors and pending dues.
The Gadag police formed special investigation teams to gather technical information and investigate the disappearance, which has been under scrutiny. The police are expected to determine the circumstances surrounding Mr. Dharwad's vanishing after further investigation.
