Jagjeet of Machaki Mal Singh village, had on Thursday left his home at 9 am on his motorbike to drop his three children -- daughters Harmanveer Kaur (10), Jashandeep Kaur (8) and son Jagseer Singh (7) -- at school. However, Jagjeet and his children did not return home till evening and his bike was found standing near the Rajasthan feeder a few km from the village.
