Igor Gueja, AN attaché in the information department of the Soviet embassy, has disappeared, leaving behind one of the most baffling mysteries the Delhi Police have had to tackle. The 37-year-old attaché left his house in the information department complex at 24 Barakhamba Road sometime between 7 and 7:30 for his customary morning walk in Lodhi Gardens. He has not returned since.
