The search for the missing Nalanda Medical College (NMC) doctor continued for the fifth day on Sunday, even as the police said they were hopeful of a breakthrough in the case soon.

Dr Sanjay Kumar, head of the department of pharmacology at NMC, went missing on the night of March 1 in Patna while on his way to inspect the college. On March 2, police found his car along with two mobile phones and a diary near Pillar No. 46 at the Mahatma Gandhi Set over the Ganges River.

According to Station House Officer (SHO) of Patrakarnagar Police Station, Manoranjan Kumar, teams are investigating the matter from all angles. “We are questioning the doctor's colleagues to get some leads in the case. Senior police officials also inspected the spot where his car was found,” the SHO said.

An SDRF official said that although they are continuing their search, they have no leads in the case even after four days. “We are continuing our search for the doctor in the river Ganga from Gaighat to Fatuha, but so far we have not been able to make any breakthrough,” said Ashok Kumar Yadav, SDRF sub-inspector.

Police said on Saturday evening that they found a CCTV camera at Mahatma Gandhi Setu, which belongs to a construction company, and found footage from March 1 in which Dr Kumar is seen parking his car at around 7.38 pm and after getting out of the car, closing door and walks alone towards Hajipur.

The case came to light on March 1 and Saloni Kumar, a retired professor and wife of the missing doctor, filed a case in this regard at the Patrakar Nagar police station on March 2.
