The hunt for the missing hard disk, which is expected to unlock the mystery behind the Chakkaraparambu accident, which took three lives, by revealing the happenings at a Fort Kochi-based hotel where the victims had attended a late-night party, proved futile on Wednesday as well.
The Crime Branch (CB) probing the case has sought the help of local fishermen to find it in addition to the experts already engaged. It is learnt that local fisherfolk may have netted a hard disk but dumped it back into the water on finding it useless. Though the investigators were not sure whether it was the same hard disk, searches were held along the location based on feedback.
The police team had already taken the help of the scuba diving team of the fire force as well as the Coast Guard to find the missing hard disk, but in vain.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
