The actor’s father, deeply distressed, filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, detailing his son’s sudden disappearance since his departure for Mumbai.
Despite efforts, Singh, aged 50, has neither reached Mumbai, where he works for a living, nor returned home. His phone remains unreachable, exacerbating the worries of his family.

Assuring a prompt and time-bound inquiry, a Delhi Police officer said, “We are looking into the matter and a probe was instituted since we received a complaint.”

Asserting that his son wasn’t in a state of mental distress, Gurucharan’s father said couldn’t explain his disappearance.

Gurucharan, who became a household name with his comic turns in ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,’ bid adieu to the show a few years ago. (ANI)
