Police scoured the Indian capital Delhi Wednesday to arrest the national coal minister for his alleged involvement in a 1975 massacre, as bedlam erupted in parliament over the missing politician.
Sibu Soren was reported missing after a police team arrived here from his home state of Jharkhand with a warrant for his arrest in connection with the massacre in which 10 Muslims were killed.
"Mr. Soren is neither home, nor in his office nor in parliament," said an officer from the Delhi police department, which is assisting Jharkhand state law enforcers in their hunt.
Police pasted the warrant on Soren's home as part of a judicial drill that will lead to the politician being labelled a "proclaimed offender" if he does not surrender to a Jharkhand court which is trying massacre suspects.
