The search team put together by MRA Marg police station has come back empty-handed after a weeklong search for 16-year-old special needs teenager Tarun Kumar Gupta, who went missing on October 1.

"They [the search team] checked all stations between Mumbai and Goa, as well as all hospitals and child welfare centres," said his father Vinod Kumar. "But Tarun was nowhere to be found. He was last seen near Dadar. I believe there is a high possibility that he is still somewhere in Mumbai, maybe in the slum areas or places like that. I am worried for his safety. I am scared, and hope he hasn't fallen prey to an organ trafficking gang. The police have assured me that this is not a possibility."
