He was supposed to be at Physical Training (PT) at 6 am with all other officers but since he wasn’t, instructor asked his classmates to see if he was sick, the official said.
The Mhow police have registered the case and have started investigating into the matter following a written complaint submitted by Subedar Jarmal Singh, who is employed as an instructor at the Infantry School’s Young Officers wing.
Lt. Gupta disappeared between 6 and 7.30 am from his room at the Young Officers’ accommodation close to Walong Dwar on the side of Mall Road in Mhow, according to sources. He was last seen wearing his PT uniform. He left his motorbike there, and it is assumed that he walked away.
Officers and other rank personnel who attend the Infantry School for various in-service courses must adhere to strict rules, and they are not permitted to leave the campus, they claimed. According to the sources, all services and stores managed by civilian contractors are located on campus, preventing trainees from leaving. They added that if they have an urgent need to leave, they must obtain an outpass that has been authorised by the proper party. The Defence Security Corps (DSC) security personnel stationed at all gates will only let them leave after inspecting their passes.
