It has been 13 days since 14-year-old Arun Gautam, who worked in a workshop situated at Sanjay Nagar, died, but his father Jugesh Gautam is yet to claim his body and perform his last rites. Instead, the 45-year-old man went missing on January 31 after he visited the Kandivli police station and left without signing a paper that cops asked him to, so that they could hand over his son's body. The body has been lying at a hospital mortuary since then.

According to the police, they have launched a search operation for Jugesh, as after visiting the police station he wrote a letter to the Mumbai police commissioner alleging that the owner of the workshop and his brothers had killed him and that the police had assured him justice.
