With no updates of sightings of his autistic son Tarun, 16, who went missing from near their home in Colaba since October 1, his father Vinod Kumar Gupta has turned to social media for help.

Since March 31, Gupta has amplified his search on Facebook at the national level and state level. He has asked a professional to handle one page that has been monetarily boosted for R10,000 to ensure audience at the national level, while the other which targets specific states where there is a high probability of Tarun being seen, is being handled personally by Vinod and has been boosted for R20,000 so far. These include Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
