Mahesh had left his home in Naroda on an Activa scooter and went missing around Civil Hospital Shahibaug. His brother, Kartikbhai Kalavadiya, filed a missing person report at the Naroda Police Station. The police traced Mahesh’s phone, which was last active near the crash site, raising suspicion. When the police informed the family, they denied any link between Mahesh’s disappearance and the crash.

A DNA test showed a match between the unidentified body and Mahesh’s brother, but the family still refused to believe it was him. They demanded further proof before accepting the body.
