Jaipur, Sep 3 (IANS) The wife of missing Rajasthan official Naveen Jain was Saturday admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital here after she took ill, an official said.

Jain, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, has remained untraced for the fourth day Sunday. Sawai Man Singh Hospital authorities said his wife Sunita Jain was not having food properly since his disappearance and is suffering from acute anxiety.

“Her family members brought her to the hospital around 6 p.m. and after a brief observation, she was admitted to the ICU keeping in view her condition. She is likely to get treatment here at least for a day,? a hospital doctor told IANS.

Police have failed to locate Jain even four days after he went missing from a restaurant in the state’s Alwar district Tuesday morning.

Jain, 36, was posted as commissioner in the state’s settlement department in Jaipur. He left behind a note for his wife and son that they should take care of themselves.

According to police, Jain had gone to a restaurant in Shahajanpur, some 150 km from here, along with his wife and son for breakfast.

“While they were having food, Jain got up from the table on the pretext of making a call and walked out,” said Additional Superintendent of Police Sangram Singh.

Jain then left a note in their car parked outside.

“In the note, he repented that he had not been able to provide a house to his family. He said that he was going somewhere and should not be disturbed,” said the officer.

The entire state police machinery was jolted into action following the officer’s disappearance. Teams were sent to Haryana and Delhi and exit routes of the state were being checked.

Sources said Jain was transferred to Jaipur in the first week of August from Baran, where he was posted as district collector.

Sunita earlier claimed that he was depressed because of the controversy over allotment of an official residence to him.

“He was depressed after it was alleged that he had taken possession of a government bungalow in Jaipur illegally. The truth is he had got verbal approval to move into the house and the process of written approval was undergoing,” she told media persons.

Jain, who belongs to Haryana, had also been district collector in Hanumangarh, Karauli and Rajsamand districts of Rajasthan.
