Delhi: Ex-Serviceman Goes Missing, Family Gets ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ Text, PFI Pic on WhatsApp from His Num

His daughter, who has filed the FIR, said that for about 10-15 days, some people belonging to a minority community were following him continuously and were pressurising him to join “their organisation”.

All of Rajender Prashad’s numbers are now switched off, the family said. Police said that a case has been registered and they have some clues, as per investigation.

In their complaint to the police, the family said Prasad had been working in a government girls’ school for the past three years.

“My father was working as admin in-charge at Government Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Nithai. He used to return by 1.30-2 pm daily but on Monday, he left for the school around 6.40 am and did not return,” news agency IANS quoted his daughter as saying.

“We enquired with the school and the security guard said that he left soon after the school timings were over. After this, one of the family members informed the police,” she said.

“Around 2.10 pm on Monday, my brother received a missed call from my father’s mobile number. We continuously tried to call back but no one received the call. Soon after this, we received a WhatsApp message on my mother’s mobile number,” she said, referring to the ‘sar tan se juda’ message.

The islamic slogan, ‘Gustakh-E-Rasool ki ek hi saza, sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda’, roughly translates to; ‘There is only one punishment for speaking against the Prophet and that is beheading’.

Police sources told that it seems that the man intentionally left his house, adding that he was last seen alone at Tis Hazari metro station at around 4 pm on Monday. A tiff with any family member could be a reason but probe to trace him is underway, police sources added.
