Navi Mumbai, June 9: A 28-year-old man from Pune district has been reported missing after he allegedly entered the sea from the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), popularly known as Atal Setu, in the early hours of Sunday. Despite an extensive search operation involving police and maritime rescue teams, his whereabouts remained unknown as of Monday evening.
The missing individual is a resident of Ranjangaon in Shirur taluka of Pune district and is reportedly associated with a stock market training venture. Concerned family members approached the Ulwe Police after he failed to return home, leading to the registration of a missing person complaint.
According to preliminary investigations, the man had informed his family on Saturday night that he was heading out for dinner before leaving in his car. Subsequent inquiries revealed that he drove onto Atal Setu and stopped his vehicle on the bridge.
