‘Missing’ cop comes back after four days

It was on October 17,Dinesh Wala,policemen from Chhani police station along with an accused Narendra Patidar left for Madhya Pradesh where they had to appear before a local court in Mandsaur.

After appearing in the court,the team halted at a restaurant for dinner from where Wala went missing.

After desperately tracing Wala,police finally had a sigh of relief when he came back home at around 11pm on Wednesday.

“We were worried about him (Wala) as he was on duty,but eventually it turned out to be a case of depression. Wala doesn’t have any child and that was the reason for his abnormal behaviour. He was tired as well,and he was apparently a bit reluctant when the team started for Mandsaur.

“Through out the journey,he was in a hurry to go back home as he desperately wanted to see his wife. He became restless and angry when the team stopped over a restaurant for dinner as he was fasting and was not too keen to stop and waste any more time on return journey.

“He simply drove off the car without thinking anything and could realise the situation only after he must have driven for some time. He immediately stopped the vehicle and abandoned it. He took a bus which was going to Banswada. After getting down at Banswada,he decided to go to Ajmer to offer prayers at the Dargah and after that he called

up his wife and told her the entire story,” Vadodara Police Commissioner Satish Sharma said. Wala took a bus to Vadodara and reached home at around 11pm on Wednesday.
