The whereabouts of Harsh Sharma, the 20-year-old, third-year, B.Tech student of IIT-Bombay is still a mystery. mid-day spoke to Pradeep Kumar, 18, Harsh's only friend in the Powai campus. Pradeep and he became friends as they both shared a hostel room in their first year and hailed from the same state.

"I met Harsh the day he disappeared. After the examination, he told me that he skipped the paper because he was not feeling ready. In fact, he had taught me a couple of modules from the same subjects a few days earlier. But I did not ask him anything as I was aware of his condition and knew that his father was also on the campus to help him with his treatment," Pradeep said.
