Patna: With the police clueless about the suspected kidnapping of a prominent doctor from Gaya, the Bihar unit of Indian Medical Association (IMA) threatened, Monday, to launch an agitation.
The IMA body has given Bihar Police 72 hours to crack the case; else they will launch an agitation against the police and government.
A prominent Gaya doctor Pankaj Gupta, along with his wife, were suspectedly kidnapped yesterday while they were returning home from a marriage of a relative in Giridih in Jharkhand and went traceless as he entered into Gaya district.
