Search operations continued for 18 month old Vijay, who slipped into a storm water drain at RR Layout, BTM 4th Stage and went missing. While 170 personnel continued to search the area, hopes of his survival have dimmed to a large extent although his parents Lakshmi and Varadaraj have not given up hope.

Joint commissioner Shivabasavaiah visited the area and blamed the developer of the storm water drain for this incident. However residents in the area blame the BBMP for the situation.
