“Had your mother gone missing for eight months,” the HC said to police, “imagine what you would have gone through, and just because it is not your mother the police is insensitive towards the pain of common citizens.”
Uma Shashank Sarkar
, an ex-Air India employee and Thane resident, has been missing since February 13. Her two sons petitioned the HC for directions to police to produce her as they said Kherwadi police in Bandra had found her on February 16 at 10am but said she left on her own at 8pm.
“This negligent attitude on the part of the police is unpardonable,” said Justices S J Kathawalla and
Milind Jadhav.
