PERNEM: Mandrem Police successfully located Pradeep B Maji, who had been reported missing by his brother, Mahesh B Maji, on May 13. Pradeep, aged 47 and a resident of Khalchawada, Arambol, Pernem, was found safe and sound in Ganpatipule, Maharashtra.
Upon receiving the missing person’s report, Mandrem Police deployed teams to scour the area within their jurisdiction and neighboring regions. They extensively circulated photographs and details of Pradeep, including his last known whereabouts on his scooter.
Despite challenges, including the unavailability of his mobile phone signal, the diligent efforts of the police paid off. Acting on a tip-off from family members that Pradeep had crossed Amboli Ghat, a specialized team led by PSI Anil Polekar ventured into Maharashtra. Their pursuit led them to Yashodhan Hotel in Ganpatipule, where Pradeep was located and safely brought back.
In his detailed statement, Pradeep revealed that he had embarked on a spiritual journey, visiting various temples across Maharashtra, without informing his family. Following police efforts, he was reunited with his relieved family members.
