In a major breakthrough in the ongoing search for Pawan Garg, the Nursing Superintendent of the Orthopedic Department at King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow police have accessed critical surveillance footage from the Itaunja toll plaza on the Lucknow-Sitapur highway. The video recordings capture Garg’s vehicle passing through the electronic toll plaza late at night. While the driver's facial features were partially obscured, investigators confirmed his identity by matching his specific clothing. Notably, the footage also reveals another unidentified individual seated beside him in the passenger seat, adding a significant angle to the mysterious disappearance.
