11 days on, no trace of aspirant civil judge missing from train
Bhopal: Mystery shrouds the disappearance of 29-year-old Archana Tiwari, a civil judge aspirant, who has been missing for over 11 days after boarding the Indore-Bilaspur Narmada Express on Aug 7. Despite massive searches across stations, forests, and now the Narmada river, no breakthrough has been achieved. Archana, a native of Katni, boarded coach B-3 to visit her family for Raksha Bandhan. When the train reached Katni, she was not on board. Her phone had switched off, and a missing report was lodged with Katni GRP. Passengers last saw her at Bhopal railway station. One co-passenger seated below her berth told police that around 11.30 pm, she climbed down, brushed against his leg, apologised, and walked towards the toilet — but never returned. Her family believes this may have been the moment the train was crossing the Narmada bridge between Budhni and Narmadapuram. Her bag was later found at Umaria station. Her phone's internet briefly switched on near Itarsi, suggesting she may have made a net call, before going silent again. Over the past week, GRP and local police have examined nearly 97 CCTVs across Narmadapuram, Pawarkheda, Itarsi and other stations, but the footage yielded no conclusive lead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Search operations have since expanded to Budhni and Barkheda forests, and now the Narmada river at Kharraghat, where State Disaster Emergency Response Force (SDERF) teams have been deployed with support from her relatives. Archana's brothers Abhay and Anurag Tiwari have personally joined the investigations, scanning hours of CCTV footage with police in Itarsi. They have also accompanied the search teams to forest areas and the riverbank. Even as hopes dim, officials insist that a major disclosure could emerge soon.
