A police team on a patrolling boat also searched in the sea near Elephanta caves (Gharapuri Island) till the sunset and has been anchored there for resuming the search operation on Thursday morning. " A police officer said that, as the recovered mobile phone of Dr Kavitake has not been unlocked yet, the WhatsApp and text messages could not be accessed. The messages might give some lead to the reason why Dr Kavitake took the drastic step. He has not left any note before jumping off the sea bridge.
