In a startling revelation, Cuttack Additional Rural SP Debadutta Baral has informed that Canara Bank branch manager Tapan Kumar Sahu, who was recently rescued from Ganjam district, had gone missing by himself due to huge mental stress for some reasons.

As per police sources, Sahu himself has admitted it during his questioning.

“After questioning Sahu, we came to know that he was under huge mental pressure for some reasons. However, he has not revealed the exact reasons of the stress before us. As per our preliminary investigation, he went missing by himself after switching off the mobile phone. He was not under the influence of any criminal activities,” said Baral.

“He has not disclosed anything before us about the reason behind his mental pressure. He is still under the stress. After the completion of the legal formalities, we will hand him over to the family members. As part of the investigation process, he will be questioned further after his mental condition normalizes,” he added.

Notably, the bank manager who was mysteriously missing for the last three days was rescued from Girisola in Ganjam district. He was on his way to Girisola from Andhra Pradesh on his motorbike when he was traced and taken to the Golanthara Police Station.

As per sources, manager Sahu was taken into custody by Golanthara Police and was interrogated about his sudden disappearance from Badamba and subsequent appearance in Ganjam district.

Later, the Golanthara Police handed over Sahu to Baideswar Police in Banki in presence of his family members, where the missing complaint was initially lodged. 

Sahu is the manager of Badamba Branch of Canara Bank. He was on his way back to Badamba, when he mysteriously went missing. Earlier, his wife had accused the cops of showing a lackadaisical attitude and not making efforts to trace Sahu.
