2 Tripura Class 8 boys who left home to ‘become someone’ traced at Mumbai, brought back home

Two students from a school in Agartala, who left for Mumbai with aspirations of “becoming someone before they return,” were located at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in the city on Tuesday, five days after their departure, officials stated here.

Kiran Kumar K, SP of West Tripura, informed reporters that a team of Tripura Police, along with the students’ parents, safely brought them back to Agartala on Thursday.

“On March 7 morning, two children from Hindi Higher Secondary School in 8th grade, inspired by Instagram, left home with the ambition of becoming someone and traveled to Mumbai. After five days, we received information that they were at Mumbai CST, and we immediately contacted Mumbai Police,” SP Kumar stated.

“Mumbai Police promptly took action and located both children. Today (Thursday), a team of Tripura Police, along with their parents, brought them back to Agartala,” he added.

“I would like to express my gratitude to our Chief Minister Manik Shah for taking this matter seriously and keeping track of the updates daily,” SP Kumar said.

He mentioned that the 8th-grade students had gone to tuition but never returned.

“We registered a specific case at East Agartala police station based on the parents’ complaints. We formed a special team and launched an investigation. They were found at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai on Tuesday,” SP Kumar stated.
