Comedian and actor Sunil Pal went missing after he travelled outside Mumbai for a show. The incident came to light when his wife, Sarita Pal, approached the Mumbai Police on Tuesday after the comedian did not return home and his phone was unreachable.
Sarita filed a missing complaint at the Santacruz police station and stated that the comedian was supposed to return home on Tuesday, but he did not. When she tried to contact him, his phone was earlier unreachable, and later, it got switched off.
The Mumbai Police has now launched an investigation.
