Police have launched a massive search for an Additional Director General (ADG) of Doordarshan who has been missing since Friday afternoon after reporting for duty, police said on Saturday.
According to police, the DD official, identified as Jayant M. Kharche, went missing from his office in Mandi House.
He was staying in south Delhi's Andrews Ganj area with his family.
"We received a call from the family members of the officer around 11 p.m.," Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal told IANS.
"He was seen coming out of the office around 1.30 p.m. on Friday. Even his mobile phone is switched off, so we have launched a massive manhunt for him," the officer added.
