KOLKATA: A senior global delivery manager with IBM, who arrived here from London for his wedding, has gone missing mysteriously. Rajiv Bhattacharya, who had arrived on May 29 for his June 3 wedding, left his Salt Lake home yesterday around 10 am to go to a private bank at Ultadanga nearby, police said on Thursday. Rajiv called up his father an hour later and asked him to hand over a blank cheque to the family's driver Gajendra Roy. The driver told the police that he handed over the cheque to Rajiv inside the bank and waited for him outside. When he did not come out, he informed Rajiv's father. Roy has been detained, the sources said. West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee expressed concern at the disappearance of the London-based IBM employee. "This is a serious matter. I will talk to the Police Commissioner about it," Bhattacharjee said. Earlier, Rajiv's father Saroj Bhattacharya handed over a written complaint to the Chief Minister's personal secretary and appealed for help to trace his son.
