It's been over 25 days since Badlapur-resident Bhimrao Kamble's son Akshay, 20, first went missing from his hostel in IIT-Kanpur, but any clue on his whereabouts still eludes the family. "While the Kanpur Police have been of little help, what's most discouraging is that not a single authority from the Maharashtra government has come forward to help with the investigation. I am fighting a lonely battle here," said Bhimrao, 55. "With each day, the cops are losing interest in the case. I fear they might stop the investigation altogether," added Bhimrao.
