who is director of a design and communication firm

A mentally challenged 28-year-old man, who lost his way, was forced to spend two nights under sky after Gurgaon cops spotted him but instead of helping him asked an auto rickshaw driver to drop him near Sikanderpur Metro station.

Gaurav Swami went missing on Thursday after he lost his way while cycling near his house in Rosewood City in Sector 49. He was found in miserable condition by his family members near IFFCO Chowk on Saturday.

Gaurav's family members, who are shocked by police apathy towards a differently-abled, are wondering why cops in PCR van did not alert control room after spotting him with a security guard of Sun City on Friday night. Meanwhile, Gaurav is in state of shock and unable to narrate clearly where he spent the two nights and how did he manage to go from one place from another.

His cousin Sudhir John Horo, who is director of a design and communication firm, told TOI, "Gaurav lost his father last month and he has been living with me since then. We have hired an attendant who takes care of him all the time."

On Thursday, Gaurav managed to go out on main road while his attendant got busy with some other thing. When he did not see him around, he started searching for him. "One of our neighbours saw Gaurav near the colony gate and immediately informed us but we could not locate him. After which we lodged a missing reportat Sadar police station," he said.

With the non-cooperative attitude of Sadar cops, who were initially not willing to register a report, I was not sure whether they would take any serious effort to find Gaurav, Horo said. I therefore, uploaded Garuav's photo on Facebook and Twitter and got pamphlets distributed to shopskeepers and many auto drivers, he added.

For two nights, Thursday and Friday, Gaurav's family did everything to find their missing kin, but could not get any information. On Saturday morning, they got a call from a guard who claimed to have seen Gaurav near the main entrance gate. "Gaurav was here on Friday night but we could not understand what he was saying due to unclear speech. Later, a PCR van sent him to Sikanderpur Metro station in an auto rickshaw," the guard informed Horo.

Finally on Saturday, an auto driver called the number given in the pamphlet and informed Gaurav's family that he saw Gaurav near IFFCO Chowk petrol pump. Following this, his familyreached the spot and took Gaurav home. Gaurav's family has also alleged that police tried to pressurize the guard later so that he doesn't take the cop's name.

DCP (crime) Maheshwar Dayal said, "I am not aware about the case as of now but I will get the details and take action accordingly," he said. Despite our repeated attempts, commissioner of police KK Sindhu could not be contacted.

Hamilton claims Armstrong is still not admitting to testing positive at a cycling race 12 years ago and that the Union Cycliste Internationale helped cover up the result.

Last week, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong said the UCI never made incriminating evidence disappear at the Tour of Switzerland in 2001. His denial was backed by UCI president Pat McQuaid last week.

However, evidence Armstrong did test positive in 2001 exists in an affidavit put together by the US Anti-Doping Agency.

The evidence, as told by Hamilton, explains how Armstrong said he'd tested positive at the Tour of Switzerland and his understanding that "his (Armstrong's) people had been in touch with the UCI, they were going to have a meeting and everything would be OK."

And a former director of a Swiss drug testing laboratory, Martial Saugy, told USADA boss Travis Tygart the UCI told him to meet with Armstrong's team boss s Johan Bruyneel to explain to different ways to blood dope without raising alarms.
