A man from the oil town of Digboi in Tinsukia district has gone missing from the "Old Hotel 65KM" in Hunli, Arunachal Pradesh, since February 4, 2024.
The missing person has been identified as Debojit Das son of Pradeep Kumar Das, a resident of Anandapara in Digboi town.
According to reports, on January 31, 2024, Debojit went to Etalin village with the supervision of Amit Dey, a resident of Golai Number 1, Digboi, to supervise the sound system for the Reh Festival, which was set for February 1, 2, and 3.
After successfully performing the assigned duty, the team disbanded and returned to Roing on February 3, but the road was closed owing to heavy rainfall and snowfall. The entire crew became stuck in Hunli. Thus, they opted to spend the night in the "Old Hotel 65KM" in the aforementioned location.
The next day, Amit, the team's supervisor, discovered that Debojit Das had been missing from the room since 7 a.m. They received no communication from him. His phone was found turned off, which added to their suspicions.
Following the event, a missing case was filed at the Roing police station in Arunachal Pradesh; however, the police had received no solid leads or made any headway in locating him.
Snigdha Das, the missing person's sister, went to the 'X' handle to ask for help from Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu, and Arunachal Pradesh DGP.
“Please help sir please. Sir, I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to seek urgent assistance regarding a distressing matter concerning my brother, Debojit Das, a resident of Digboi, Assam.
