Child missing from Jalna traced to Delhi, reunited with kin after 4 months
In an another incident, a 7-year-old boy from the nomadic Pardhi community who went missing from Jalna in Maharashtra in July this year was on Thursday traced to New Delhi and was reunited with his family, a police official said, as per the PTI.
The child had gone missing from his native Ravana Parda village in Ambad tehsil Jalna district of Maharashtra, after which a kidnapping case was registered by the police, he said.
"The child did not have an Aadhaar card, which made the search that much more challenging. The child's photograph was widely circulated. The breakthrough came when we were told a child matching Somnath's description was found at Nizamuddin Dargah in Delhi. After his parents verified the photograph of the child sent by Delhi officials, a team left from Jalna," an official said, according to the PTI.
The child, who was reunited with his kin, is unable to explain how he managed to reach Delhi, the official said, adding that the further investigations in the matter were underway.
