GUWAHATI: Assam Police have traced the 16-year-old son of former Rajya Sabha MP and BJP leader, Biswajit Daimary, about 24 hours after he had gone “missing” from his school in Kokrajhar town on Tuesday afternoon.
According to police sources, Amitraj Daimary, a Class X student and a boarder in the hostel of Reality Public School, was located at Chapaguri in Chirang district on Wednesday afternoon.
“The missing child of ex-MP Biswajit Daimary has been located. A big relief for us,” G.P Singh, additional director general of police (law and order), informed through his official Twitter handle.
Details however are awaited.
Amitraj had attended classes on Tuesday morning but went missing later in the day.
Earlier, speaking to the media on Wednesday morning, the former MP said that from information received, two boys “had helped him climb over the wall to go out of the institution’s premises.”
“He told his friends that he wanted to go home and thereafter to Guwahati and Delhi. He had spoken to me over phone from school on Tuesday morning as well and attended class before having lunch at 12.30pm but was absent from class subsequently,” Daimary, who had quit Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF) to join the BJP in November last year, said.
He said that CCTV on the school premises also did not have any footage showing the wall climbing scene while the CCTV at Kokrahar railway station, where he might have gone, was not functional to ascertain anything.
“One of the guards at the station however did mention about a boy asking him when the train to Guwahati would arrive,” he added.
Daimary had also ruled out the possibility of abduction or the incident having any link with his joining BJP.
