"We are in the process of tracing them. On the morning of September 17, the accused's father went home from the police station saying he would come back. Instead he locked the house and ran away with his family," said a police officer. "We don't know what is the reason behind their disappearance. Their involvement in this crime cannot be ruled out," added the officer. DCP (Zone 6) Shashi Kumar Meena refused to comment on the developments in the case.
