The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023, for issuance of direction to the official respondents to investigate the complaint dated 17.02.2025 (Annexure P-1) filed by the petitioner and to trace out the grandson of the petitioner namely Mridul Sehdev. Further prayer has been made to protect the life, liberty and property of grandson of the petitioner, who is under constant threats. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, inter alia, contends that the petitioner seeks urgent intervention regarding her missing grandson, Mridul Sehdev, who has been harassed by a local loan mafia due to financial losses in his jewelry business. He submits that the grandson of the petitioner namely Mridul, fearing for his safety, did not disclose these issues to her. On 15.02.2025, Mridul returned home in a terrified state, stating he had been beaten up and robbed by the mafia, and fled away from the house when he saw them approaching towards him.
