Mumbai: BARC scientist’s missing son Naman Dutt found dead

Police is now investigating cause of death of Naman Dutt and looking at all angles including suicide or any foul play.

NEW DELHI: The body of 17-year-old Naman Dutt, son of a BARC scientist Bhaskar Dutt who went missing for the past 12 days, was found by Navi Mumbai police in Uran Creek. The Police is now investigating cause of death and looking at all angles including suicide or any foul play. The boy 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.
