A preliminary investigation suggested that Rai was abducted over a property/land related dispute. He is currently involved in real estate business. A complaint was registered on the suspected abduction against unidentified miscreants. A special team of the Saran police has interrogated Rai’s relatives and families in his neighborhood, said a police officer familiar with the matter.

Police suspects that some persons known to Rai had called him on the pretext of meeting him on the outskirt of the village. However, when Rai reached the site, the miscreants took hold of him and forced him into the luxury car.

Saran superintendent of police (SP) Gaurav Mangla said that he has constituted a special investigation team (SIT), which has examined CCTV video clips and call data records to trace the abducted person.
