TV actress Divya Bhatnagar’s father Vinay Kumar Bhatnagar, who had gone missing on Monday, has been found at the ICU of Mahavir Hospital in Paitmapur. Vinay, a retired official of IB, had gone missing on Monday afternoon when he was travelling by bus to Moti Bagh.
Earlier, Divya had posted on Facebook about the incident with the picture of her father in the ICU. She said that her father was drugged.
“He went for his routine checkup at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. We received the last call around 11:30 am and he told us that he is in a bus number 8,” her another Facebook post said where she had requested for help in locating her father.
As per Divya’s fiancé Gagan, police did little to help them locate the elderly man. “He took a bus to Moti Bagh and informed the family about it over the phone. After some time, the family got a message from his number “send me the ATM pin”. When the family members tried to contact him over the phone, his phone was switched off. The family got worried and approached the police, but they were indifferent in their approach.”
Gagan said that family’s own efforts led them to Mahavir Hospital in Pitampura, where Vinay was found in the ICU. Hospital authorities said someone had admitted Vinay there at 2pm on Monday.
“How can police be so casual in their approach. Uncle had served the country for decades. The police neither had a clue not did they help us in locating him,” Gagan said.
