The search for Prince alias Tillu, who disappeared from Ramdeva’s Dhani in Unbara village six years ago, remains fruitless despite a 12-day operation on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Police efforts, including excavations at sensitive spots identified through drone surveys and GPR technology, have not yielded concrete evidence related to the case. The excavation work involved removing the asphalt layer, followed by digging along an 80-100 meter stretch, up to 12 feet deep.
Special surveillance is being maintained at suspected locations, with police continuously examining the excavated soil. The operation, costing between Rs 50-60 lakh, involved the use of heavy machinery and floodlights for night work. Additional Superintendent of Police Yogendra Faujdar and Station House Officer Zaheer Abbas are overseeing the operation closely, with two lanes of the expressway temporarily closed during the excavation.
Prince’s father, Jagmohan Bairwa, expressed emotions at the excavation site, hoping for closure through the discovery of his son’s remains. Despite the family’s growing disappointment after 12 days of search, they hold onto hope for resolution in the long-pending case. Prince alias Tillu went missing in 2020, leading to the arrest of a neighbor and his sister following a habeas corpus petition filed by the family in the High Court.
