Gujarat: Baroda medical college student missing for 10 days, police launch search

The student has been identified as a 21-year-old fourth-year medical student at Baroda Medical College, as per TOI report.

According to the police, he last spoke to his mother on April 27, and he has been unreachable since then. Furthermore, his mobile phone has also been switched off since that time. His hostel room at the medical college was found locked.

On April 26, he went to his hometown, Banaskantha, Gujarat. The next day, he returned to Vadodara.

The police spoke to his mother, who stated that upon returning, he did not contact his family again. Therefore, the family members contacted his batchmates, but no one knew about his whereabouts.

During the preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the student had withdrawn cash from an ATM located near SSG Hospital on the very day he went missing, according to TOI.

After the matter came to light, the police have launched a search operation and are scouring CCTV footage from areas surrounding the college, railway station, and ST bus depot to trace his movements.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported a similar case where a NEET aspirant had gone missing from her home in Greater Noida. After the complaint, police began looking into a possible connection linked to social media where she met a man online. The student who was preparing intensively for the medical entrance exam was reportedly in touch with a man she had met on Instagram.

The police found that the man she had been in contact with was also preparing for NEET.
