The ticket examiner and the man who provided bed-sheet in the coach, said he was last seen at Kanpur during the journey.
The army suspects that the Captain must have fallen prey to groups who travel on trains and drug and rob people. The army has asked the media to help in the search for the officer. The description sent by the army is “Height 5’6″, wearing black/brown blazer, off-white T-Shirt, blue jeans, green jungle shoes.”
