Daily commute from Parthala Chowk circle to Gaur Chowk in Greater Noida area normally takes just five to ten minutes for thousands of commuters in Noida Extension, but for Gaur City resident Gaurav Chandel it became the last trip. Gaurav was returning home from his office in Gurgaon and contacted his family on reaching Parthala Chowk.
"I will reach in 5 minutes," he told his family. But Gaurav didn't return for another 30-40 minutes, raising alarm.
Gaurav, a resident of 5th avenue in Gaur City had bought his car just a month back. It was a routine day for him as he drove back to his home from work. As he did not reach his residence within the said time, his wife called him to enquire. The call, however, went unanswered. Gaurav's family kept calling him for another half an hour but in vain.
Gaurav's family, his friends and some residents of his society searched for him throughout the night. They later approached the nearby Bisrakh police station where they lodged a missing complaint about Gaurav. The police told them they would be able to look for Gaurav only after they get his call details post 10 am the next day.
