Missing Mulund youth Jagdish Parihar, 23, has probably left the country, police sources said yesterday, even as a search for him in all possible locations continued. His brother Bhavesh, however, rubbished the claim, saying Jagdish is in India as he himself called them and said so.

Speaking to mid-day exclusively, Bhavesh said, "He called us via WhatsApp on Thursday and said he was missing all of us, and that he hasn't gone abroad and is in India (somewhere near Delhi). He also said he is just clearing his head.
