The Juhu police have reunited a 37-year-old man—who had taken to begging in Mumbai following a heartbreak—with his family. The man had left his hometown in Kerala a year ago to come to the city in search of a woman he had met online. The police said the woman had rejected him after meeting him for the first time, following which the man went into depression and never returned home. He took to begging until the police rounded him up during an anti-begging drive recently and found his Aadhaar card.
The man has been identified as Anup Rajshekharan, 37, a resident of Kollam Karunagappalli in Kerala. Anup has completed his masters in Aqua Culture and Fisheries Science. He went missing in January 2022 after he came to Mumbai telling his parents that he was going to look for a job but never returned. On March 18, Juhu police PSI Umakant Kunjir found a beggar in Juhu and took him to the police station. There, the cops asked him for his details and he told them he had no family. While going through his belongings, the cops found his Aadhaar card from his bag and a letter in Malayalam.
