It has been a week now since Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Gurucharan Singh went missing. While the police are investigating the matter, the latest update about the actor’s whereabouts suggested that he withdrew Rs 7000 from an ATM on 24th April (two days after he went missing) near Palam, Delhi which is a few kilometers away from his home. Earlier CCTV footage also surfaced where Gurucharan Singh was seen crossing the road in the Palam area at around 9:14 pm on 22nd April. Now a few other reports state that Gurucharan was to get married soon and he was facing financial constraints.

However, Indianexpress.com spoke to his family and said that they are unaware of any kind of marriage plans involving Gurucharan. They added that they don’t know where these reports are coming from. The relative also shared that Gurucharan’s father is not in a position to speak and that the family has no update on the case as of now.

There is no verification about the actor facing financial struggles though, his father had earlier told the police that Gurucharan Singh was not in any kind of troubled mental space, which is why even he couldn’t explain the disappearance. On Sunday, a team of Delhi Police Special Cell had also visited Gurucharan’s home to trace his possible route ahead of his disappearance.

Gurucharan Singh was to catch a flight from Delhi to Mumbai at 8:30 pm on April 22, however, he never reached the destination nor did he return home. His phone has also been switched off since then. His father filed a police complaint and a case under section 365 (abduction) was registered. The police continue to investigate the matter still.
