Thu Dec 26 16:52:07 UTC 2024: ## Missing Armyman’s Case: Police Investigate Discrepancies in Location Data
**Kozhikode, Kerala, December 26, 2024** – The Kozhikode police are investigating the disappearance of armyman K. Vishnu, who went missing after reportedly leaving Pune on December 16th. Vishnu, who had secured a 20-day leave from the Army Sports Institute in Pune to visit his family in Kozhikode, Kerala, has not been heard from since a phone call to his mother on December 17th.
A special investigation squad has been deployed to Pune, where a preliminary cyber cell investigation revealed inconsistencies with Vishnu’s claimed travel plans. While Vishnu reportedly told his mother he had reached Kannur, Kerala, his phone’s last tracked location was in Pune. Police have interviewed officers at the Army Sports Institute, who described Vishnu as having no issues at the camp.
The family reported Vishnu missing after he failed to arrive home as expected. They provided police with WhatsApp messages and call records indicating his travel plans. The family is particularly distraught as Vishnu’s marriage was scheduled for January 11, 2025. Vishnu, who joined the army in 2016, had a notable record as a boxer. The case has been escalated following requests for intervention from State Ministers. The investigation is ongoing.
