Despite concerted efforts from family, friends, the GRP, RPF, city police and political muscle, autistic teenager Tarun Gupta, who went missing from near his home in Colaba over 150 days ago, remains missing. On the other hand, the family's financial burden is increasing with every day as they jave spent nearly R15 lakh in his search.

"I have no use for money if I don't have my son. I will sell everything I have to bring him back," said Tarun's father Vinod Kumar Gupta, adding that he had liquidated multiple deposits that were meant to safeguard his son's future to pay for train and plane tickets.
