He was the centre of a row over the government acco-mmodation provided to him in Jaipur. He went missing from a restaurant at Jaipur -Delhi highway last Tuesday after breakfast. His family members informed the police. Mr Jain’s relatives and family members blamed the state authorities for harassing an honest officer. The Opposition BJP also questioned the sensitivity of the Congress government in dealing with the officers.
The chief minister Ashok Gehlot directed the police and administrative officers to provide all needed help to the Mr Jain’s family in tracing him and ensure his security.
The police left no stone unturned to find out his whereabouts and searched several guest houses and hotels in Rajasthan and Haryana.
