In yet another incident of mysterious missing cases seen in the national capital, a 19-year-old Delhi University student from Tripura, Sneha Debnath, has gone missing under unexplained circumstances from Delhi. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has ordered the police to take immediate and appropriate action.
Sneha, a resident of Sabroom in South Tripura district and a student at Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College under Delhi University, was last in contact with her family on July 7. According to her relatives, she had informed her mother that she was heading to Sarai Rohilla Railway Station with a friend named Pitunia. Her last phone call was recorded at 5:56 am. By 8:45 am, her phone was found switched off. The family later discovered that Pitunia never met Sneha that morning as planned.
A search operation is underway by Delhi Police and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). As per her sister Bipasha Debnath’s account, she contacted the driver, Subhe Chandra, who informed them that Sneha had gotten off at Signature Bridge. “However, after we spoke to people at and around the bridge, they were not aware of her ever being there,” the FIR stated.
Raising further alarm, a cab driver tracked by the family confirmed having dropped Sneha near Delhi’s Signature Bridge, a location known for safety concerns and limited CCTV surveillance. The lack of camera footage has complicated efforts to trace her movements.
On July 9, the Delhi Police Crime Branch, aided by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), launched an extensive search across a seven-kilometre radius around Signature Bridge. However, no significant leads have been found so far.
The Tripura Chief Minister’s Office acknowledged the case in a statement on social media, saying, “The report of Miss Sneha Debnath, a resident of Sabroom, who has reportedly gone missing in New Delhi, has come to the notice of the Chief Minister’s Office. Following this, necessary instructions have been promptly issued to the police to take immediate and appropriate action.”
Sneha's family remains distraught, pointing out that she left without any personal belongings and had not withdrawn money in the last four months. Her bank account remains untouched. Authorities have appealed to the public for any information regarding her whereabouts. The case is under active investigation.
