The Allahabad High Court has intervened in a missing person case, ordering a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to trace the whereabouts of Sudama Devi. According to court records, the woman has been missing since September 8, 2024. A formal missing person report was initially filed by family members at the Puranderpur police station in the Maharajganj district on September 9, 2024.

The court's decision to involve the CBI suggests a level of dissatisfaction with the progress of the local police investigation. While the specific reasons for the court's lack of confidence in the local authorities were not detailed in the initial reports, the move signals a significant escalation in the search efforts. The CBI is now tasked with taking over the investigation to determine the circumstances of the disappearance and locate the missing individual. As of now, there have been no public statements from the Maharajganj police regarding the transfer of the case or the status of their previous findings.
