Kottayam: Nearly a month after a 30-member Crime Branch team was tasked with the search for missing college student Jesna Maria James, the police have arrived with some CCTV visuals to gather information from local people in Mundakayam, where she was seen last.
The search has been intensified, but not much of information has been obtained from the team's contacts with panchayat leaders and other local people.
Jesna, from Kollamula in Pathanamthitta, had disappeared on March 22 after she left home presumably for a visit to her aunt near Mundakayam. The police had earlier obtained some CCTV visuals which show a girl similar to Jesna walking through the Mundakayam bus station. The recordings also show a young man and a woman passing by in a suspicious manner, and a car leaving the bus station.
The police team showed the visuals to local panchayat members in a bid to identify the people and the car. The visuals were also shown to drivers in the town in a bid for clues on the car, but no one could identify the vehicle. The number plate is not clear enough either.
Neither have the police received any clues on the man and the woman seen in the visuals.
The police team that probed the case earlier had carried out search for Jesna in Bengaluru, Goa and other locations where Jesna was reported to have been sighted. The police claimed having scanned over two lakh telephone calls.
