He said the boy Naman Dutt was being treated for depression following the death of a close relative and had gone missing briefly even a few months earlier.
He went missing from his home in Sector 17 and after a futile search by his parents they lodged a complaint with the Vashi Police.
The only child of his parents Naman was found missing from his room around 1.00 a.m. by his father Bhaskar Dutt who is a BARC scientist.
Later police said he was seen on the building s CCTV grabs sporting jeans and a T-shirt carrying a rucksack and leaving the premises around 10.30 p.m. more than two hours before his father noticed his absence.
Barely 20 minutes later he was seen catching a sub-urban train to CSMT around 10.50 p.m. but he remained incommunicado as his mobile phone was switched off since.
Dutt a brilliant student was studying in Class 12 at PACE Junior Science College Nerul and simultaneously preparing for his IIT-JEE said Deshmukh.
His mother Chandra Dutt a consultant psychologist had said earlier that her son was shy and introvert and had been treated for depression after a relative died in an accident in Dubai and her husband survived a potentially life-threatening road crash.
