It has been 60 days since 16-year-old Tarun Gupta left his Colaba home one morning to dance in a political rally and did not return home. His parents, Vinod and Asha Gupta have been having sleepless nights ever since. Along with the parents, relatives too are engaged in the specially-abled boy's search since the afternoon of October 1. While a missing person complaint has been registered at MRA Marg police station, he was last seen in Fort area of South Bombay. Ever since then, Vinod has reviewed over five dozen CCTV footages of various railway stations and other locations. "I don't have the energy left to see him begging for food," Vinod said.

"He loves to dance and is very religious. He must have been tempted by the drumbeats from the rally. He must not have felt uncomfortable since most of those in the rally knew him. But after everyone left, he must have gotten confused. He was seen near Pancham Puriwala restaurant in CSMT at 12:48pm on October 1," said Vinod. One of Vinod's friends who went to Panvel in Tarun's search discovered that he was there on October 1, 2 and at 1:20am on October 3. "He was forced to board the parcel bogie of Tutari Express which goes to Sawantwadi," said Vinod, who met Railway Protection Force (RPF) officers at Panvel.
