Unresolved Mystery: The Disappearance of Dilip Patidar

Seventeen years have passed since Dilip Patidar, a crucial witness in the notorious 2008 Malegaon blast case, mysteriously vanished, leaving authorities and his family puzzled.

Patidar was reportedly taken for questioning by Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad on the night of November 10, 2008, only to disappear without a trace. His family, striving for justice, secured a court declaration of his 'civil death' as they seek closure.

Despite recent acquittals in the case and ongoing investigations, the fate of Patidar and other missing individuals remains unresolved, casting a shadow over the affected families' quest for answers and justice.
