Mahavir Jain, an IIT-Bombay alumnus, was last seen at the city’s Bhandup railway station. Jain had left the house after telling his family that he was going to his workplace.

According to the CCTV footage at the railway station, he was last seen at 9:40am, trying to board a train. A missing person’s complaint was registered on December 17. “The CCTV footage is not clear so we don’t know which train he boarded,” Jain’s son Akshay said.

Akshay has taken to Facebook in order to find his father and members of the IIT-B alumni association are also helping him in the search. Apart from a campaign on Facebook, Akshay has also started one on WhatsApp to reach out to more people.

“We have tried every source possible, including relatives, his friends, business acquaintances, as well as people at IIT-B, where he has been in touch with the management for work. As of now we hoping to find him soon,” Akshay said.
