JAMMU, Aug 5: A Special Investigating Team (SIT) today traced missing Advocate Raman Wazir from inside PGI Chandigarh when he was going there for treatment. He is being brought to Jammu and was likely to reach here tomorrow morning.
The Advocate, who was reportedly unwell, was missing since July 31. The High Court had taken notice of the missing Advocate and constituted SIT comprising five police officials and five Bar members to trace the Advocate. The Bar Association, Jammu had gone on strike demanding that the Advocate be traced immediately.
Headed by SP City (South) Shehzad Salaria, the SIT was on the hectic job to trace the Advocate and finally Inspector Parvez Sajjad of the Crime Branch Jammu, who was one of the members of the SIT, found him in the PGI Chandigarh this afternoon.
The SIT members found pen drive in purse of Raman Wazir at his residence Dhok Gujran at Nagrota during investigations of the case, which revealed that he had used his email ID worldslink_2000@yahoo.com to search how he can make his mobile telephone unreachable. He had also searched routes for Jammu-Chandigarh and Chandigarh-Manali.
In view of this, the SIT search was confined to Chandigarh and Manali. However, since the Advocate had also got his blood tests done, the SIT focused more on Chandigarh.
The SIT traced that Wazir had logged in his email ID on August 3 from airtel broadband at Shop No. 26, Sector 11 in Chandigarh.
Later, it was found that the Advocate had got himself checked up at the PGI on the name of Raman son of Ram Sareen R/o Himachal Pradesh.
This evening, when the SIT team was moving inside the PGI to meet doctors, who had examined Wazir, the Advocate was found moving inside the same premises. He was traced and is now being shifted to Jammu.
Police said the 51 year old Advocate was unwell but fully conscious and alive to the situation.
Meanwhile, the Bar Associat-ion Jammu will review its decision tomorrow on the strike, which had earlier today been extended till Monday as the news of Advocate’s recovery was received late in the evening.
