“An FIR was registered against unknown persons under Section 364 of the IPC. Later in the evening, his car was found near the Haj House,” Mr. Kumar said.

“We are investigating the case from all possible angles. We are questioning people associated with him. The CCTV footage near the Haj House, Link Road and his factory is being looked into,” Mr. Kumar said.
