A 32-year-old Bandra resident, addicted to unusually long walks, has gone missing. His relatives and friends in Bandra have been desperately searching for him in and around Mumbai. The individual, Yusuf Tafazzul left his Bandra home on January 8 and hasn’t returned since. His father registered a missing persons complaint at Bandra police station on January 25.

Yusuf worked at a multi-national coffeehouse chain as a supervisor before the COVID-19-caused lockdown. After he lost his job, his communication altered. He would use limited words to speak to people. His elder brother Abdul said that Yusuf was undergoing psychiatric treatment for a certain mental condition. According to Abdul, in the past, Yusuf has walked to Marine Drive, Colaba, Sangamner, and other places in Maharashtra from his Bandra home. He also crossed the Maharashtra border and reached Gujarat on foot.
