JAMMU, July 12: A Junior Engineer (JE) of the Roads and Building (R&B) Department, posted in Rajouri has gone missing after being lifted in a vehicle by some unknown persons on July 10.
Identified as young Sunny Dogra, son of Vijay Dogra, resident of Gandhi Nagar in Jammu, the JE had been receiving threats from some people at his place of working for the last some time and he had shared it with his family as well. He was presently posted in Rajouri R&B Division.
The sources said that in the afternoon on Wednesday, Sunny was taken to some unknown place by some ‘persons’ including two contractors. Thereafter, his whereabouts were not known. His wife Jyoti Dogra and father Vijay Dogra got worried in Jammu after Sunny’s mobile phone remained switched off and went untraced. Yesterday, they arrived at Rajouri and after inquiring from staff and land lord on ITI Road Rajouri lodged a missing report with the Rajouri police. His motor-cycle was also found parked in the office of Executive Engineer.
Today, Sunny’s father and wife met the Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, F C Bhagat and submitted a written complaint alleging that Sunny was receiving threats from some contractors and was upset. He had also shared this with the wife on phone few days back. He was also receiving harassment at his workplace from some insiders as they had involved ‘outsiders’/ outgoing engineers to prepare some fictitious bills.
The family demanded a thorough inquiry into the matter and also urged the DC and the SSP Rajouri to get him traced and take action under law after impartial probe into the working at the Division. They alleged handiwork of some staff members in connivance with the contractors behind his missing.
It is pertinent to mention here that an AEE of R&B was also beaten up by some people in Darhal area of Rajouri some time back over a petty issue. An FIR had also been lodged besides holding inquiry into the matter but following some local political pressure, no action was taken against the accused persons and R&B engineer was victimized there.
