At the time of filing this report,the meeting was on. “Any kind of action will be taken only after the family reaches some conclusion. The family is sitting in the police station and our top officers are in talks with them,” added Toor. Abihinav had gone missing from his home since Thursday morning and a police report was registered in this regard.

SHO Nirmal Singh could not be contacted as he was in the meeting.
