Member of Parliament’s Son Missing from Darbhanga Residence

KKN Gurugram Desk | In a worrying development, 24-year-old Vibhuti Yadav, son of Lok Sabha MP Dr. Ashok Yadav, has gone missing from his residence in Darbhanga, triggering an urgent search operation led by local authorities.

Disappearance from Darbhanga Home

Vibhuti was last seen around 8 PM on Sunday evening at the family home in Darbhanga. According to the family’s statement, Vibhuti was home when the security guard had stepped out briefly. Upon the guard’s return, Vibhuti had vanished without a trace.

“At approximately 8 PM, Vibhuti was in his room. The guard left for a brief errand and, on his return, Vibhuti was nowhere to be found,” shared a close family member. The family further revealed that neither Vibhuti’s mobile phone nor his wallet was missing — both were left behind in his room, suggesting he did not depart voluntarily.

Family Launches Intensive Search

Upon discovering his disappearance late that night, Vibhuti’s family launched a frantic search across the neighborhood and nearby relatives’ homes. Despite thorough checks in surrounding areas, no sign of Vibhuti emerged.

Desperate for answers, the family finally alerted the Laheriasarai Police Station at the break of dawn.

Police File Complaint, Deploy Search Team

On Monday morning, a formal missing person complaint was filed at Laheriasarai Police Station. The police have initiated a comprehensive search operation, forming a dedicated team to explore all leads and coordinate with adjoining jurisdictions.

“An FIR has been registered, and we have formed multiple teams to comb the area,” said Inspector Amit Kumar, the Laheriasarai Station House Officer (SHO). He confirmed the search includes local transit routes, roads, and public spaces.

District Administration Involved

Senior district officials, including SDPO (Sub-Divisional Police Officer), visited Dr. Yadav’s residence to oversee the investigation and extend support to the family. The community has rallied behind the search efforts, providing valuable information and emotional backing.

High Stake Given Family’s Political Background

Given that Vibhuti is the son of a sitting Lok Sabha MP, the case has drawn considerable public attention. The fact that a member of a politically influential family has disappeared has led to significant media coverage and public soul-searching.

Authorities stress that all angles—voluntary disappearance, abduction, or foul play—are being thoroughly investigated.

Mobile Phone and Wallet Still Missing?

Vibhuti’s unchanged phone and wallet are crucial clues. If he left voluntarily, he likely would’ve taken these items. Their presence in the room strongly suggests either sudden departure or forced disappearance — both of which intensify the urgency of the investigation.

Forensic and Digital Investigation Underway

The police are pursuing both traditional and digital leads:

• CCTV footage from nearby streets and buildings

• Cell tower pings to track Vibhuti’s phone

• Interviews with the guard, household help, and relatives

• Inspection of the property’s entry/exit points and vehicles in the vicinity

Community Appeals and Public Support

Amid the crisis, local residents and the wider community have begun organizing volunteer search parties, combing fields, roadsides, and nearby bus stands. Media coverage has amplified the plea for any witnesses to come forward.

Friends of the Yadav family have taken to social platforms to share Vibhuti’s photo, hoping wider circulation may generate leads. #FindVibhutiYadav has gained traction locally after trending online.

MP Dr. Ashok Yadav’s Statement

Though the MP has maintained a dignified silence since filing the police complaint, party insiders say he is personally involved in coordinating with officials and volunteers. His supporters have urged the public to help and urged anybody with information to contact local authorities immediately.

What Happens Next: Standard Police Protocols

Based on police statements, key steps in the ongoing investigation include:

1. Checking CCTV footage from the past 24–48 hours

2. Tracking mobile signals to establish movement pattern

3. Exploring bus routes and pickup points near Laheriasarai and Darbhanga

4. Monitoring hospitals and shelters for any unidentified person

5. Examining the guard’s timeline and conducting lie-detector tests, if necessary

Why This Case Matters: Safety of Political Families

While high-profile families often enjoy security, they can also become targets due to their political influence. The disappearance of an MP’s son raises critical questions about the safety of public figures and their families — particularly when security staff or systems are involved.

Root Questions Under Investigation

• Did Vibhuti leave the house voluntarily or was he forcibly taken?

• Are there any ransom demands?

• Were there any recent threats or signs of distress?

• Is the security guard’s involvement reliable?

• Are surrounding communities aware of any unusual movements?

Public Appeal for Cooperation

The Laheriasarai Police have urged residents to assist by sharing CCTV footage, any sightings of Vibhuti in the past two days, or any unusual incidents reported on Sunday night. Citizens have been encouraged to call the local police helpline or contact Dr. Ashok Yadav’s support staff.

Media Coverage and Political Fallout

Regional and national media outlets are monitoring the case closely, with some analysts suggesting political rivals may exploit the incident. However, leaders across party lines have expressed support for the family and urged swift action.

As the search enters its second day, authorities maintain cautious optimism. Investigators emphasize early days are critical in missing person cases. The presence of personal belongings suggests an urgent abduction scenario, however accidental or voluntary disappearance remains a possibility.
