More than 11,000 people get lost in Mumbai every year, reveal police statistics, and around 20% of them are never found.
The figures thrown up by government officials are alarming. The fact that more than 2,000 people never get back home every year means that each day around six Mumbaikars are lost to their families and friends for ever.
An overwhelming majority—about two-thirds—of the people who go missing in Mumbai are, surprisingly, adults.
Figures for 2007 show 11,168 people went missing in 2007 and 9,055 (some went missing before 2007) came back.
Joint commissioner of police (crime) Rakesh Maria said it was extremely difficult to trace people who left home on their own. "Some may leave home after a fight in the family, children often sulk and go missing if they are scolded and elopement of girls and boys in love is a frequent occurrence. All these cases are extremely difficult to trace," he added.
