Five days after he went missing, a 38-year-old Chartered
Accountant (CA) was reunited with his family in Kandivali (West) by the
police with a little help from good Samaritans.
Navratan Shantilal Bohra, a resident of Laljipada in Kandivali
(West), was missing since he left his
Motilal Oswal office in Dadar on
March 20. According to his wife, he had left his residence at 8 am, went
to drop his daughter at school, then went to his office following which
he went missing. The police probe centred on the losses he had incurred
in business. “Bohra last spoke to his mother at 2.06 pm on March 20,” a
police officer said. Later, with his phone switched off, his wife
Aashri registered a missing person’s case.
At around 10 am on March 23, his wife got a call from an unknown
person informing her that Bohra’s bag had been found at Ahmedabad
railway station. “The caller found her number from documents in the bag.
A police team was dispatched to Ahmedabad,” the officer said.
The next day, his wife got another call from an auto-rickshaw driver
in Ahmedabad informing that Bohra had been found near SK Road. “As he
had not eaten since he left he was weak. The driver took him to a nearby
hospital, got him treated, offered him food and later convinced him to
give his wife’s number,” the officer added.
Dadar police then brought him to Mumbai. It was found that he had
taken money from his clients and incurred huge losses, because of which
he was depressed and decided to flee.
