The report further mentions that so far the police and the Indian government has sent four reminders to the Romanian consulate asking either to send Bartha's parents or to claim his body. But they keep insisting on the DNA samples of the deceased. Hence, the police have taken the DNA samples from the body for completing the process.
As per the reports, the boy was a native of Cluj-Napoca and had landed in Mumbai on May 6 and lost all his belongings. Soon after, he went to Goa. "We don't know whether his luggage was stolen or he lost it. All we know is he reached to a bus depot in Goa, where he requested travel operators to allow him to travel to Mumbai for Rs 200," an officer from Cuffe Parade police was quoted as saying. Furthermore, he added, "One of the tour operators felt sorry for him, and not only gave him a free ticket but also arranged for his meal during the journey."
