If the city police cannot trace their own man, then Mumbaikars who go missing must truly be at God’s mercy. 

Police Sub-Inspector Sanjay Vitthal Chavan had gone missing on November 2 and mid-day had reported his disappearance (‘Cop from Cuffe Parade police station goes missing after DCP’s negative remark’, November 5). Eight days on, the Cuffe Parade and Nagpada police still don’t have a clue about his whereabouts. The police said Chavan had left his cellphone at home, making the search difficult.
