A second-year student of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), who was suspended, has been missing for the past four days. This has prompted FTII to register a case of missing persons with the Pune police. The Deccan Gymkhana police station has registered a complaint and is now probing it.

The missing student has been identified as Manoj Kumar, a resident of Varanasi. He was studying art direction and was in the second year, and had got married six months ago. The student had been suspended after he was scolded by a professor on campus. Senior inspector Bhaskar Jadhav of Deccan Gymkhana police station said, "Kumar's wife has approached us and accordingly, we have registered a missing complaint."
