Millionaire’s son escapes home
    2019-11-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE 19-year-old son of a millionaire oil trader in Padra, Gujarat of India, disliked studies and wanted to prove his potential, which prompted him to reach Shimla where he survived washing utensils and cleaning leftovers for nearly a month.

Dwarkesh Thakkar, a student of an engineering college of Vasad, left home Oct. 14 saying he was going to college. However, he did not like his college, or studies. So, instead of Vasad, he headed to the Vadodara railway station, from where he boarded a train to Delhi and disappeared.

“The boy had left his mobile phone at home. All we had to hunt for him were CCTV camera footage of Vadodara railway station and an auto-rickshaw driver’s statement who had dropped him at Akshar Chowk in Vadodara city,” said a police officer.

On Oct. 28, Dwarkesh went to a hotel in Shimla, asking for a job. The manager of the upscale hotel could make out that something was amiss. The teenager had allegedly told the hotel manager that he had been working at local eateries. He took the teen’s ID card, which said that he was from Padra. The manager searched for the contact number of Padra police on a search engine and called them.

The manager sent a photograph of the Dwarkesh’s ID card to the police. On receiving the photograph, the Padra police confirmed that it belonged to the missing teenager.

“The hotel manager told us that the boy confided that he had been working at highway eateries and kiosks, and survived on whatever food he got. So we contacted all such small eateries and local taxi drivers and shared the boy’s photos along with our numbers,” said police officer Gohil.
