Almost a week after they were reported missing, the police have not been able to trace Vrushti Kothari and Shivam Patel. The police, who last traced Vrushti's mobile phone to Madhya Pradesh, have so far gone through six different CCTV footages and have sourced additional three footages. The new CCTV footages showed that the two exited their society on foot upto the St Xavier's college and had hired an autorickshaw from the corner. Earlier the cops had recovered CCTV footage of Vrushti and Shivam alighting from an autorickshaw at Kalupur Railway station in the city. Sources said the cops are also on the lookout for the autorickshaw driver who dropped the two at the station. Police, however, are still not sure if the two left the city via train or any other means. Vrushti and her friend Shivam has been missing from October 1 onwards. Earlier, cops said that Vrushti had gone to her childhood friend Shivam's house on September 29. They left Shivam's house the next day and have been missing since then. It should be noted that while the cops have CCTV footage of a couple, believed to be Vrushti and Shivam, alighting from an auto at the station, the former's mother could not identify her in the said footage. Police have been saying from the very beginning that the couple had left the state since they went missing. So far, the cops have taken the statements of Vrushti's parents, their servants as well as the driver, who dropped her off at Satyam's place. Later cops had also managed to get in touch with Shivam's parents who live in the United States. Vrushti and Shivam knew each other since class 11. Earlier, city police formed three teams to trace a 24-year-old woman, who is studying fashion designing course in the city institute. The matter came to light after actress Soha Ali Khan tweeted about the missing girl and urged cops to find her. In the tweet on October 2, actor Soha Ali Khan asked the police to trace Vrushti quickly. "Guys! Please help out. Vrushti Jasubhai has been missing for 2 days now and her phone has not been reachable since. She lives in Ahmedabad, her parents are worried. Please help spread the word," she had tweeted.
