In a recent development in the Gorai murder case in Mumbai, the deceased has been identified and his friend was taken into custody for further investigations, said an official.
The deceased was identified as Raghunandan Paswan, a 21-year-old resident of Darbhanga, Bihar, police sources said on Tuesday.
According to the police, Paswan, who had been working in Pune, reportedly left on October 31 to visit Mumbai with a friend. After his departure, Paswan became untraceable, and his mobile phone was found switched off. Concerned, his father, Jitendra, traveled to Pune to search for him and discovered that Paswan's last known mobile location was in Andheri, Mumbai. However, attempts to reach his friend's phone were also unsuccessful.
A few days ago, Jitendra arrived in Mumbai to continue the search. When he could not find any trace of his son, he approached Andheri East police station and filed a missing person report, as Paswan's last location had been in Andheri East. The police registered the missing complaint on Monday afternoon.
