73-Year-Old Film Director Arrested For Raping Actor In Mumbai

On August 6, a 16-year-old boy from Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh embarked on an extraordinary journey to Mumbai, travelling approximately 900 km, with the sole purpose of becoming an actor on the popular TV sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The show, which debuted in 2008, has garnered a massive and devoted fan base, with its characters and storylines woven into the fabric of popular culture.

The teenage boy's determination to fulfill his dream of working in the sitcom led him to leave his home without informing his family, heading towards the railway station in Chhindwara.

Upon arrival, he boarded a train to Nagpur and continued his journey by train to Mumbai, eventually reaching Goregaon station. While in Mumbai, the teenager was found wandering alone near Film City, the heart of Bollywood, and was promptly taken to Aarey Police Station by a mobile police unit. The minor had been missing since Thursday, and his parents were notified after a tip-off. The boy's father is currently en route to Mumbai to reunite with his son, who is currently safe at the Aarey Police station.
