The MIDC police are currently searching for Shahid Shaikh, a Nalasopara resident who allegedly booked a car for 12 hours via a car rental app and then absconded. The car owner has been trying to reach the accused, but his phone remains switched off. Following instructions from the rental company, the car owner has lodged a complaint at the MIDC police station. The matter is under investigation.

According to police sources, the complaint states that a resident of Jogeshwari, working in a finance company, had bought a Hyundai car for personal use. However, since the car was not being used frequently, the owner decided to generate additional income by registering the vehicle on a car rental app.
