Decades-Long Pursuit: Unraveling the Mystery of Pradeep Kumar Bajpai's Disappearance

Thirty years after Pradeep Kumar Bajpai from Jalaun district vanished, a murder case was formally registered following a court directive.

The inquiry stems from the events of 1995 when Bajpai went missing after a local ceremony. His father, Umashankar Bajpai, accused seven relatives of murder, but initial police inaction led him to seek judicial intervention.

Despite Umashankar's death, the quest for justice persisted with his son Devendra. A court recently compelled Kotra police to record the case while investigating the lost files. The police now promise a thorough investigation into Bajpai's fate and the file's disappearance.
