Minor from Akola traced in Pandharpur after 21-day search

Akola, Dec 4 (UNI) A 14-year-old boy who went missing from Akola has been found safe in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, after an extensive 21-day search during which police reviewed nearly 200 CCTV recordings and travelled around 1,500 km, officials said.
The boy, who lives in the Khadan police station limits of Akola city, reportedly left home on the evening of November 11 after being scolded by his parents. When he did not return, his parents lodged a missing complaint the following day, prompting the police to begin an investigation.
Officials said the parents were unable to provide detailed information that could aid the search. The local crime branch then gathered inputs from the boy’s school, tuition classes and neighbours and questioned the parents again, who confirmed that they had reprimanded him before his disappearance.
