Bhubaneswar: The police team that has been camping in Delhi and Gurgaon to trace the missing second-year AIIMS-Bhubaneswar student, is likely to return to the city in a day or two.

The team members have failed to get any lead about the missing student's whereabouts despite a search at several places there over the past two weeks.

The student, Suhail Aijaz Kataria, went missing from Bhubaneswar, on February 9.

The team rushed to Delhi and Gurgaon after the father of the student received a phone call from Delhi in which the caller claimed to have seen a youth who looks like Suhail.

The caller had made the claim after seeing the photograph of the missing student in a newspaper.

The city police team visited railway stations, airport, bus terminals and several police stations in Delhi and Gurgaon,but failed to get any clue.

"The team also visited several banks and went through the CCTV footages of ATM counters in the hope of at least finding Suhail withdrawing money from the ATM, but could not spot him," said a police officer.

Suhail, a native of Kashmir's Kupwara district, had last withdrawn Rs 400 from an ATM counter on AIIMS campus on February 9.

Suhail had left the campus telling his friends that he was going to attend a friend's wedding in Chandigarh. The AIIMS-Bhubaneswar lodged a missing complaint with the Khandagiri police station on February 18 after failing to trace him.

The police later searched his room and found a letter addressed to his parents and friends in which he has written "I Quit".

The police suspect that the youth wrote the letter after not being able to withstand academic pressure. Suhail's mobile phone was last traced to Howrah on the outskirts of Calcutta on February 10.
