Missing on Connaught Place

Overview

On the morning of August 22, 1992, renowned jeweler Mohan Khanna failed to open his prestigious shop, "Khanna Jewellers," located in the inner circle of Connaught Place, New Delhi. When concerned employees arrived with spare keys, they discovered the shop's safe completely empty and Mohan nowhere to be found.

Missing Person Profile

Name: Mohan Lal Khanna
Age: 48 years
Occupation: Owner of Khanna Jewellers (est. 1965)
Net Worth: Estimated ₹2 crores in property and assets
Residence: Defence Colony, South Delhi
Family: Wife (Sunita Khanna), Two adult children

Discovery

Senior employee Ramesh Gupta arrived at 10:00 AM and found the shop locked. After waiting until 11:30 AM with no sign of Mohan (highly unusual), Ramesh used his emergency key to enter. The shop appeared normal except for one critical detail: the massive floor safe was wide open and completely empty - approximately ₹40 lakhs in gold jewelry and ₹5 lakhs in cash had vanished.

The Mystery

There were NO signs of forced entry. The shop's locks were undamaged, the alarm system had been properly disarmed, and security shutters showed no tampering. The safe could only be opened by Mohan's fingerprint scanner combined with a 10-digit code known only to him. Most puzzling: Mohan's car was still parked in his home garage, his wallet and keys were at his residence, but he had not slept in his bed.

Last Known Activities

Mohan was last seen at 8:45 PM on August 21st, leaving his shop and locking up as normal. Witnesses saw him walking toward the Rajiv Chowk metro station. His wife reported he never came home that night, which was extremely unusual. Phone records show he made three calls that evening - times and recipients are in the evidence files.

Your Mission

Was this a kidnapping? A robbery? Or did Mohan stage his own disappearance? Review all evidence, witness statements, and suspect profiles to determine what happened to Mohan Khanna and where the missing jewelry has gone.
