A 63-year-old seafarer from Vasai West, who lost his job due to the lockdown and thereafter started experiencing memory issues, has been missing since October 15. David Peter Gamjya’s family members launched a search for him and found CCTV footage of him at Mumbai Central station on that day. However, he could not be traced further. The Vasai police filed a missing report on October 16 and are probing the matter.

Gamjya’s relatives said that he had started a beer shop after losing the job, but incurred huge losses. “Earlier, he used to meet people when he was on leave. But he changed after losing his job during the lockdown. He was very disturbed and worried about meeting the expenses of his family,” said Satish Gamjya, his cousin.
