I am an indian male who was in a very similar position to him. I didn't make up lies, but I remember going on a family vacation because I got into a bad college and was getting low grades. The entire time I was coming up with ways to kill myself. I ended up attempting to kill myself the next year. Definitely had that feeling of euphoria the day I decided to do it. I was really calm and happy.
My parents also claimed to be very progresive parents who claim they didn't put pressure on me. (and they 100% were a lot better than other brown parents) but still put a lot of pressure. And I felt really bad throughout my life becuase I wasn't successfully socially or aademically as I felt they wanted. (and I wanted).
Also like him, no one in my life ever thought I was depressed. Including my mom who described me as a "happy child". On paper, I had a lot of friends, was smart, was dating girls and was good looking. But for years I had been thinking of killing myself and feeling like I wasn't living up to my expectations. I think indian kids keep a lot of secrets from their parents about who they are and how they're feeling. And I wasn't "depressed". I was under tremendous amounts of pressure that my parents, society and mostly I put on myself. And was failing to meet them again and again leading to self hate and resentment. I don't know the word for it. But I feel Tej was in the same situation.
Also about him telling his doubts to his mom, I think that was him trying to guage if he could tell her "Mom I'm going to drop out of school" to hide the fact that he wasn't going to classes for so long. So basically testing if he could get out of the lie. I think her answer likely led him to take his life. I remember doing a similar thing where I asked someone a last question hoping I would get an answer I didn't, and then committing to deciding to kill myself.
I relate to this story way too much lol. But I'm in a much better place now. I am a lot happier, worked on my self worth, achieving my goals and worked to stop having suicidal thoughts :). Suicidal ideation is a really nuanced topic I could talk a lot about. It is constantly misreported and misunderstood inspite of our focus on "mental health".
I wish you all the best. So happy that you are working on yourself.
Wish you the best life ❤
Hey... Wish you all the best.. take care.. ❤
Wish you the best in life. Please hang in there and reach out to friends or therapists when you can ❤
Proud of you
When someone describes an adult as “obedient”, it is disturbing on so many levels! That should never be a compliment.
This!
Agreed
Most powerful statement 😢
Troubled childhood?
I think they just want to say that he wasn't really a rebellious or troubled kid who would run away from home often.
Hey Tej, if you ever happen to read this… Hope you are safe wherever you are.
It was his dad’s birthday, and his brother was going away to Europe (probably for an internship or work). Tej had been lying to his family for 2 entire years and felt like his life was a failure. Even if his parents are chill, this would’ve upset them and caused them a tremendous amount of pain. I firmly believe Tej committed suicide that day, and that his car hasn’t been found because he may have willingly driven into a body of water. Sad story!
Yes it seems so
whers his body + ask those parents to send divers to check lakes / rivers
8 years is a long time for his car to never have been found. I detect foul play. He was in bad company. Maybe his friends were bad company and no one knows. They killed him because he owed them money or crossed them in some way. The car must have been destroyed somewhere.
I really hope he's safe and okay. I understand the struggles. Please come back, Tej!
OMG!! We have the same name.
I sincerely hope these poor parents find closure. The best thing to happen would be that Tej gets in touch with them.
We lived in Melbourne when tej went missing! Remember seeing flyers everywhere, it was on TV news, Facebook...I always wondered about his well being! I hope he is safe and happy wherever he is ❤
It’s so heart wrenching . Really don’t know how his family is living such a melancholic life without their beloved son. My heart goes out .
I wish he returns .
Great effort by desi studios ❤
Started looking forward to Saturdays after subscribing to this channel bc you guys bring the most interesting cases and i can actually fight my sleep while working 😭😭.
I love unsolved cases bc it gives you so many aspects of a case. You can brainstorm a lot. Hoping Tej returns back to his family. Or at least theres an ending to this mysterious disappearance.
As a Maharashtrian living in Australia, I can relate to this family. I am all by myself here and my parents are in India. I can confirm that mental health issues are serious in this country. Every second person suffers from ADHD. If he managed to drive deep deep deep inside the Australian outback and hide his car it's difficult to even find his car intact. Maybe he hid his car before ending his life. There are so many abandoned cars in the outback. This country is as big as the USA with nothing in the center. Yes, Australia is absolutely beautiful and I call this my home now but at the same time it can be deadly under such circumstances.
I miss your intense and 'keeping us on our toes' type of cases :( nothing hits like old desi crime anymore
True. Miss the pre big break Desi crime episodes
Yup, somehow only audio episodes are more engaging 🙃
Those were best yaar, now days its not fun like before
Came to know about your channel after watching you guys on the HST podcast and I must say that the way you guys narrate the stories is absolutely brilliant. Also bought the Merch! Cant wait for it to be delivered. 😎
Dear Tej,
No matter where you are or what you’re doing and no matter what circumstances you’re in, everyone is rooting for you. Your loved one misses you and they’re eagerly waiting for your safe return. We all are. I hope you’re okay, friend.
Hey Tej, if you are reading this, please come back. Your parents will be much happier if you return. It doesn't matter what happened in the past; your parents will appreciate knowing that you are safe and with them.
hope he comes back !
as always , great episode , stay desi.
No chance. He would definitely have come back if he was alive.
Wasn't threatened today but surely pranked 🙏🏻
I was missing them and wasn't ready for weekly release i.e. every Sunday! And see God hear my inner voice that a new Desi Crime video!
I’m already watching your videos and got a notification for a new one. 😅😅
Aryan will watch this back a couple of years from now and cringe at the part he says “if you don’t want to be one of the 38k who went missing, hit the subscribe button” 😂
He cringes at himself even now
Tej, I strongly feel you are okay in all respects .PLEASE come back. Your parents are waiting for you!!! You need each other!!
One of the most heart wrenching cases… feel terrible for the parents.
You guys r amazing 🙌🏻
man the ability to add that spice to the story & obviously the storytelling ability = gold mannn
both of your skills are gold
I don’t wanna be a part of that 38,000 that go missing, so I willingly subscribed, so I don’t get kidnapped by u two 😂😂❤
Well i was eagerly waiting 😂🎉 i recently discovered your channel your narration are amazing 🤩... Keep up!❤
Congratulations guys on hitting 1 lakh subscribers ❤❤ way more to go guys❤❤
Hey Aaryan and Ashwariya,
I am Miloni Mehta and I have been following your podcast from the beginning. Today, looking at his case, I feel like we have been through the same experiences. I am currently pursuing my MSc in Digital Marketing and AI in Paris. I have faced multiple failures in my life, despite having the most supportive parents and surroundings. I understand the anxiety of quitting a career path, as it can be incredibly challenging. I have a small message for Tej.
Hey Tej,
You might not know me, and we don't know where you are or how you are doing. I hope you are safe and healthy. We have all experienced failure and anxiety, and I don't want you to be reminded of it again. However, your family misses you a lot, and it's time for you to return to them. I know they will accept you with open arms and a lot of love. They miss you a lot, so please go back to them.
From,
Miloni
You guys rock❤️
This was a very tough one to follow. I hope they'll get the closure that they deserve. Also just a suggestion, but if you can publish a suicide prevention or any other organization's contact details that may be able to help the individuals/victims in any manner, that may be helpful for someone.
Most of those numbers don't work dear!!
@@nehanandi6959 Didn't know that. That's quite unfortunate 😕
Come back Tej
We’re rooting for you to come back!! Stay Safe!! ❤
Your channel has become my new favorite true crime podcast channel. Do cover some nepali cases too.
Best wishes..
You guys have got a remarkable command on the English language, it’s the first thing I noticed. Besides, you do a great job. As you two are quite young, reminds me of a line of one of my favourite songs, “Young blood young bones, old ghosts go home.” Anyway, sincerely would like to say Kudos! 😊
parents genuinely seem loving
I don’t know why but I cried during the whole video’s length.
Parents know more than what they are sharing
2:56
If y'all are kidnappers then I'm ready to be kidnapped 😃
hi aishwarya and aryaan, big fan of your podcast, as an Australian listener I would just like to say that it's pronounced "jih-long" not quite literally Geelong haha, keep up the good work :)
Hi, I am from Team Aish! Go girl❤
I don’t think he is alive otherwise he would have contacted his family at least once
can you do the Kerala Nathancode murder case couldn't find anything in English about it, love your videos!
SR pay did a video on this case
Have they covered the SSR case? I heard they have in their interview with Sidharth Kanan but can't find the video.
Apple podcast
Just a small correction Geelong is pronounced as Jeelong. I am from Melbourne and Come back to Parents Tej.
This was extremely hard to watch..I cannot imagine how his family is living each day not knowing what has happened to him. As heartbreaking as his death would be, not having closure ,not knowing ,is so much worse. Maybe it gives them hope that he is fine out there somewhere but that is an overly optimistic thought. Practically if he hasnt showed up till now , he is probably no longer alive. He wanted to go away far and end it all. Absolutely devastating. Desi crime team thank you for doing your part though.
I have a question. Why does the intro say "Based" on a true story
Hey Tej, wherever you are come back buddy! I am a 23 years old (okay in some days I’ll be) medical student. Being a doctor myself I can understand what it is to be 21 and undergo the health sciences student grind but bro your family is waiting for you! Come back soon :)
Hi Aryaan and Aishwarya,
I love your podcasts and yet again you gave us another banger with the new ep. Just a tiny request can you guys cover an episode on the case called "Cyanide Mohan." I'm so curious on this case because the incident took place in my hometown. I've tried listening to the case through other podcast, but I guess I'm used to you guys🥹🫶. Just a small request to cover this case.
Love you guys and thanks for giving me goosebumps every week❤❤❤❤❤
Very sad story.I thought the end would be Tej’s return
Sad story! 😢 Btw you could also report on Ajitabh's missing case from Bengaluru. His family were on same boat and made several campaigns but unfortunately he is not found yet! 😢
Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊
Saturdays are fun
Even saying that our child was obedient when he is adult seems alarming tbh…. On top of that you cannot rule out possibility of depression just because the person seems happy to you… you never know what goes into your mind when you’re suffering from depression. Saying it from my own experience
What if he had been murdered in the isolated places of Australia. I don't know how police or family concluded that he ran away or did suicide. It could be a murder without trace.
God bless this son can get found
I come across your RUclips channel and have watched some videos. The only thing that bothers me is the interruption. I understand that it's your format and possibly it's bothering only me. But I thought I should give feedback.
Hey guys small correction its Geelong pronounced as “g” as alphabet “g” . Thank you
Praying for you to return to your loved soon Tej🙏🙏🙏
Here to free all the people from the basement 🙂↔️
What about following the car through cctv?
However, COME BACK TEJ
I don't know if this is the right way to convey this but you guys should cover Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee case. I've watched /listen to any content that exists on this case and yet to see a desi point of view. It would be interesting to see you guys do it. Love from 🇺🇸🇺🇸
come back tej 🥺
i hope you are found dev. i can feel how you felt.
Come back Tej!
Commenting because Evan told us to do so 😭
Come back tej 🥺
Great episode guys. I am from Melbourne and live in Burwood East. FYI “Geelong” is pronounced “Jiilong”. :)
Can someone share the link of the burari deaths review done by desi crime ?TIA 😊
Guys, please use the right phrase when referring to "suicide". It is not "committed suicide", but died by suicide.
Commenting only cause Evan said so😌
Hi Tej ... İf you are reading this , dear nothing is more important for your family and friends than your safety and health. They need you....
2:50 Unless you want your murder case discussed in a future episode, Aaryan, don't even think about kidnapping me. Regarding this case, I have a theory.Tej fell in with a bad crowd, drugs, shop lifting, that sort of thing. Those who he hung around with thought that he would get them into trouble, or was an hinderance and got rid of him. Somewhat similar to the Reena Virk case, only difference been that body hasn't been found. The car might have been scarped or dismantled and sold part by part.
I pray to find tej soon
how can a car go missing
Good one on keeping this just 30 mins long. I prefer shorter episodes, not everyone has the patience to listen to 1 hour stories, atleast not me lol
Might have transfigured morphologically..since he had earnings of two years without being attendee to college…perhaps adventure of his life or begining of new life being different person..nobody knows..
i wanna be found by my parents safe and alive hence i've subscribed long long back
You’re safe
How can someone disappear just like that? This episode just feels incomplete to me, i know there's plethora of research done aryaan but uh, idk, there must be something that everyone is missing out, where's the car, his call records, something from his workplace, there's gotta be somethinggg!
THEY COULDNT FIND IT. That’s why it’s so confusing
Any last calls, and last texts. How is he surviving without making any expenditure (on his card)? It's baffling
It's like the story of Alex super tramp. Watch 'into the wild'
Thank god I was present here (saved my family's efforts) 🤝🏻
He was such a cute little baby 🥹
Edit: y’all think Americans show off “new appliances”? 😒
Meet up soon ?❤
God bless
I actually fear him being alive all these years- probably kidnapped/ trapped by some psychopath older male or female. Trapped under some basement or inside a house, not even aware if it is day or night or how many yrs have been passed.
Because there is no way someone is alive without being spotted or without accessing bank/ atm after soo long.
And if he was dead, his car ot body must have been spotted by someone somewhere.
The only possible explanation is can see for his not being found already is because someone intentionally is keeping him away.
Probably that unfortunate boy isn’t even aware how much his family is searching for him/ or probably he can see it on tv but not able to free himself.
I think it's Geelong "G"
Please cover Suchana Seth case
Why no video this sat 😢

I request you to research and made case study on 'airforce, agniveervayu Shrikant' who shot himself 03 July 2024 at 0200hrs.
He is my fellow in training. I don't know why he did this? There are chats but these might be fake or real.what was the reason behind shrikant suicide? Is it 'agniveer scheme' or anything else?
Sad case... hope they find him..... in another case of long, and sudden disappearance, they found the missing boy and his car deep inside a water body...
Geelong is pronounced as Jee-Long
