Rajesh Kumar Gangwar, Sagar’s uncle, said, “On Saturday around 3 pm, Sagar was called to play cricket by his friend and our neighbor Anuj. When he didn’t return by night, I called Anuj, who said Sagar had fallen asleep at his place. On Sunday morning, Anuj claimed he had dropped Sagar at the Satipur intersection.”
