New Delhi: The car of President A P J Abdul Kalam's Deputy Press Secretary Nitin Wakankar was stolen on the eve of Independence Day despite unprecedented security arrangements made to foil possible terror strikes in the Capital.
Police said on Wednesday it had so far not been able to trace the car stolen from outside the Indian Newspaper Society (INS) on Rafi Marg.
Wakankar had gone to INS, just behind the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), on Monday in connection with some official work and found his car missing at 1100 hrs IST.
He informed the Parliament Police Station within five minutes and subsequently lodged an FIR.
Top police officials were at a loss to explain how the car could remain untraced even three days after it had been stolen despite several barricades put up by them in view of Independence Day and Wednesday's Janmashtami celebrations.
In the FIR, the Presidential spokesman had mentioned that he had lost his personal bank documents that had been kept in the white Maruti 800 car bearing the registration number DL 7C 2380.
However, there was no official parking label pasted on the windscreen of the car.
