Hunt on for Kow’s missing driver

Now,with the police yet to find any clue of Kow’s whereabouts,they are now trying to locate his driver,Chima.

A police team visited the residence of Chima at Dhapa on Sunday and enquired about him from his family members.

“His family told police that he had left house,a day before the incident took place and since then he has not returned,” said a police officer.

However,after getting his cellphone number,police are hopeful to make a breakthrough in getting hold of Chima as well as Kow.

Kow is most likely to contact his family members within a couple of days which would help us track him down,said police.

Significantly ,two days ago,police found the councillor’s car near Kamardanga in Sealdah. Senior officers of the detective department believe that Chima accompanied the councillor till the time he went missing. “It is possible that Chima is still with Kow,” the officer said.

They may have left the car and took a train from Sealdah station and taken shelter in the house of one of Chima’s relatives in Nadia or North and South 24-Parganas,police added.

It may be noted that Kow’s mobile phones are switched,and it has proved a hurdle for the Criminal Investigation Department’s sleuths probing the case.

Iqbal,another Trinamool leader accused of killing Assistant Sub-Inspector Tapash Chowdhury,had done the same thing when he went into hiding,giving the officers a harrowing time. He could only be arrested when he called his daughter from a telephone booth in the Dehri-on-Sone area near Gaya in Bihar.
