Perspectives

Supporters' account (rebuttal): The other side claims that the prolonged absence of the Bengaluru techie necessarily indicates foul play or death, citing the two-week timeline as evidence of diminished hopes.

The key question for readers is whether absence alone constitutes evidence of harm,
