Surat, August 27: In a twist to the story of Mitul Trivedi, a Surat resident who had previously made false claims of designing the Chandrayaan-3 lander, is now on the run. Trivedi's residence is reportedly locked, and his phone remains switched off, adding to the intrigue surrounding his claims. The ongoing investigation into Trivedi's claims has now been handed over to the Surat crime branch of the police. Authorities have indicated that while Trivedi's claims are largely harmless, they highlight his propensity to make exaggerated statements.
Trivedi was unable to provide any documentation
The investigation into Trivedi's assertions was handed over to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Hetal Patel. Despite reaching the city police commissioner's office, Trivedi was unable to provide any documentation substantiating his alleged association with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Claims of affiliations with ISRO since 2011 and NASA since 2013
Trivedi had garnered attention after the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission by making claims about his involvement. He asserted that his design of the lander included a unique feature preventing the scattering of dust upon landing, contrary to conventional landers. He also maintained that he had affiliations with ISRO since 2011 and NASA since 2013.
