According to Mumbai police officials, the sketch is being circulated at all the police stations across the city to track down the driver and seek information from people.

POLICE EXAMINE CCTV FOOTAGE

Amboli Police had also collected the CCTV footage from around area that Kashyap was pushed out of the rickshaw and threatened. However, the footage apparently has not revealed any information according to senior police officers.

Meanwhile, the police is also working on identifying the driver through the registration number of the auto rickshaw. However, they have as yet not enlisted for any help from the auto rickshaw unions in the city.

On Sunday night, Mumbai Police had collected over 1,000 documents from the Regional Transport Office pertaining to registrations of auto rickshaw in western suburbs. However, these documents do not carry photographs so it is difficult for the complainant to recognise the rickshaw driver.
