Television actor Gurucharan Singh (50), known for his joyful role as Roshan Singh Sodhi in the popular serial 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.

Citing CCTV footage, Delhi police had earlier said that Singh was last seen on April 22 near the Delhi airport with a backpack. 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.

Since the day Singh has been missing, his phone too remained unreachable.
