The abduction of Abhishek Mishra, the only son of IP Mishra, chairman of Shankaracharya Engineering College in Bhilai during the cosy winter season of November, spread around the country like wildfire.

Calls were made to multiple places for information.
Family restless, police upset
When Abhishek did not return on November 10, the police were informed about it. In addition to the Durg-Bhilai police, police in all the nearby districts were alerted regarding this matter which was related to a high profile family. A dozen police teams visited several states in search of Abhishek. Kidnapping for ransom was ruled out by the police since time passed and Abhishek's family did not get any kind of a demand call. The police were also constantly working on every input from call details, but no concrete lead was found.
