A 19-year-old youth from Brahmandeo village under Krushnaprasad block has been missing for over three months, prompting a statewide search by police.
Chandan Kumar Biswal reportedly left home on May 21 after failing his +2 exams and has not returned since.
Family members, friends, and villagers have searched extensively but found no clues. A formal complaint was filed at Krushnaprasad police station, and a case has been registered under number 113/25.
Police have distributed posters with Chandan’s photo across the region and alerted stations throughout Odisha. Sub-Divisional Police Officer Bhabagrahi Rout confirmed that search operations have expanded beyond the state borders.
The family remains in distress, with no cooking taking place at home since the day of his disappearance. “We survive on whatever little we can manage. Our only hope is that he returns safely,” said a family member.
