Missing NRI traced to Mumbai suburb, reunited with kin after 12 days

Two citizens, who were aware about the missing NRI through social media and news articles, on Sunday spotted Pillai wandering in suburban Khar. They enquired with him and then informed the police control room, he said.

A team was rushed there and the information was also shared with Pillai’s daughter.

Pillai was then brought to the Sahar police station and reunit- ed with his daughter on Sunday evening, the official said.

“It was an emotional moment for everyone,” he said.

“The awareness among Mumbaikars helped in tracing Pillai and this is an example of police and citizens working together,” the official said, adding it was a challenging task to search for a person, who has memory loss issue, amid the city’s massive population.
