Mumbai (PTI): A 35-year-old man, who went missing from his hometown Alwar in Rajasthan two years back, was found in Mumbai and reunited with his family on Sunday, a police official here said.

The man, Amit Kumar Saini, who has mental health issues, was spotted roaming on the streets in Bandra and Khar areas here, assistant police inspector Gokul Bhoi said.

When a police officer enquired with him and checked his belongings, some torn documents were found wherein there was a phone number based on which his family was contacted.

"A police team during patrolling found him in a dishevelled condition and roaming on the Linking Road in Khar area. He had been roaming around the Bandra station, Khar station areas for the last two years," the official said.

"As he was not talking, his bag was searched and a copy of an old driving license was found in the torn documents which had a phone number on it," Bhoi said.

"When we contacted on the number, a person informed that Saini was missing since the last two years from Alwar. We kept Saini at the Khar police station here until his family members arrived, and provided him food and clothes," the official said.

On Sunday, his brother Ajay along with a friend reached Mumbai.

"We handed Amit Saini over to them. They told us that he was driver and suddenly disappeared two years back," the official said.

Mumbai (PTI): Social activist Anna Hazare has said Raghav Chadha and six other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha members would not have quit the party had it followed the "right" path.

"Everyone has the right to hold an opinion in a democracy. They (Chadha and others) must have faced some trouble, which is why they left," Hazare told reporters on Friday in Ahilyanagar district of Maharashtra.

AAP Rajya Sabha members Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak addressed a joint press conference in Delhi on Friday, announcing their exit from the Arvind Kejriwal-led party to join the BJP.

Chadha claimed that nearly two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha members had quit the party and would function as a separate faction.

"It is their (AAP leadership’s) fault. Had that party followed the right way, they would not have left," Hazare said.

Hazare reiterated that Chadha and others must have faced difficulties within AAP, and that is why they left. "Had the party gone in the right direction, they would not have quit the party," he added.

"There must be some or the other reason (for their leaving AAP). In a democracy, every person has a view about where to stay and leave," Hazare said.

The Chadha-led exodus marks a significant setback for the Kejriwal-led party since its formation in 2012, which followed the momentum of Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement.
