CHENNAI - The Tamil Nadu police as well as Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) activists are on the look out for senior party leader W.R.Varadarajan, missing since Thursday.
Police have registered a missing person complaint after his wife Saraswathi approached them.
According to the CPI-M, Varadarajan has been missing since last Thursday and police are looking at various angles, including kidnapping.
Varadarajan, a well known trade union leader, was stripped of the party posts recently as a disciplinary action.
CPI-M state secretary G.Ramakrishnan met Director General of Police Letika Saran and urged her to locate the missing leader.
“There is no news about Varadarajan,” Ramakrishnan told IANS.
According to police, Varadarajan left two unsigned notes before he disappeared - seeking that his body be donated for medical research, his laptops and books to the CPI-M’s publication “Theekathir” and the balance in his two bank accounts to the party.
