At  CID West Bengal, We realize that a missing person can be a source of immense trauma and concern for family members and friends. Each year about 1,000 people are reported missing from West Bengal. The good news however is that the CID Missing Persons Bureau is here to help find your loved ones. Most of the missing persons reported are located, with more than half simply failing to tell their families. Some people deliberately want to stay 'lost'" and a small number are victims of foul play.
