Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), may have 'planned' his own disappearance and moved out of Delhi, News18 reported quoting Delhi police sources. The actor has been reported missing since April 22 this year, from the locality of the Delhi Airport. The actor left his phone in the Palam area, police sources said, adding, that due to this, the probe to trace Gurucharan Singh has been difficult.

"In the CCTV footage we recovered, he was seen moving from one e-rickshaw to another. Looks like, he had planned everything and has moved out of Delhi," police sources told News18.

The actor had left his home to take a flight for Mumbai.

However, he neither reached Mumbai, not returned home. Four days after the actor went missing, his distressed father had filed a missing case with the Delhi Police over his son's sudden disappearance. On April 27, an FIR under Section 365 (abduction) was lodged by the Delhi Police.
