"We had formed teams to trace down the SPG commando and he was located in the Tughlaq Road area. He had left his mobile phone at home before leaving. He is being debriefed for the time being," said B K Singh, DCP, New Delhi.

The commando, Rakesh Kumar had reported for duty on September 1. It was however found that he had an off on that day. The 31 year old officer left Sonia Gandhi's residence at around 11 am after meeting with his friends. He had however left his mobile phone and service revolver behind.

His family members tried to contact him on September 2, but there was no response. They assumed that his duty hours may have been extended. When they contacted him the next day and got no response they assumed that he may be at a remote location where there is no network.

After a couple of days, his family members reached 10 Janpat and inquired about his whereabouts. The father then filed a missing persons complaint with the police. Investigations are underway.
