2 days after he went missing in Mumbai rains body of doctor found

The body of renowned Bombay Hospital gastroenterologist Deepak Amrapurkar, who went missing near Elphinstone Road station following heavy rains on Tuesday, has been found in a drain near Worli seashore.

The 58-year-old doctor had left for his Prabhadevi home from the hospital on the evening of August 29, Tuesday, by car but due to water logging on the road he asked his driver to drop him off near Elphinstone Road station and started walking towards his residence, a senior police official said.
    
The doctor went missing thereafter.
 
"According to eye-witnesses, Amrapurkar fell into a manhole. Police recovered his umbrella from near the spot," said Sunil Deshmukh, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Dadar Division.
   
Torrential rains pounded the metropolis throughout the day on Tuesday. The city gauged a whopping 298 mm of rainfall, the highest in a day in August since 1997.
