On September 8, Vimal Bhagat, 54, her daughter Anuradha Deokar, 33, and her 8-year-old son left home at Mohne, Kalyan. Around 11 am, neighbours found the door of their flat open. They informed Bhagat’s husband Sahebrao about the disappearance, following which the Bhagat and Deokar families registered a missing complaint with police. Later, police found Vimal Bhagat’s body near the Ulhas river, but there were no trace of Deokar and her son.
The police started a probe in the matter but did not get any leads, while the family put up missing person posters and advertisements to locate the two, to no avail. On October 8, Vijay Bhagat, brother of Deokar, got a call from a person claiming to be from Sivakasi saying he had seen them there. Her husband, brother and Khadakpada cops then went to Sivakasi.
“The police were there for 5 days, but returned in a hurry. We expected more from them.,” said Rahul Deokar, Deokar’s husband. After going to hutments, temples and putting up posters about Deokar and her son across Sivakasi, her husband and brother didn’t get a response from locals. “If the police decide, they can work on the location of the call and find something,” said Vijay.
