Patna Police Rescue 15-Year-Old Boy from Uttar Pradesh Following Inter-State Alert
In a swift inter-state operation, Patna police successfully rescued a 15-year-old boy, Radhey Shyam, from the S K Puri area of the city on Sunday. The breakthrough came after Uttar Pradesh police alerted their Bihar counterparts about the missing minor, who was reportedly being held against his will in the Chainpur locality of Patna.
Immediate Police Response and Rescue Operation
Upon receiving the critical alert from Uttar Pradesh authorities, teams from the S K Puri police station and nearby stations were immediately dispatched to the location shared by the UP police. The boy was promptly located and brought to the police station for detailed questioning and safety procedures.
SHO Jitendra Rana provided insights into the case, explaining that the boy’s family, deeply concerned after his disappearance, had contacted the emergency helpline 112 seeking urgent assistance. “They were initially connected to Patliputra police station and later to S K Puri police station. The police traced and rescued the boy on Sunday,” Rana stated.
Conflicting Statements and Investigation Details
During interrogation, Radhey Shyam revealed that his father runs a vegetable business in Orai, Uttar Pradesh’s Jalaun district, and that he and his brothers assist in managing the trade. He informed police that he had come in contact with two youths from Chainpur in Patna and later accompanied them to their house in the city.
However, the boy’s account presented inconsistencies. Initially, he claimed he had been kidnapped and forcibly brought to Patna. Later, he revised his statement, saying he had voluntarily traveled to Patna on Saturday with his two friends, who then allegedly detained him by switching off his mobile phone and preventing him from leaving.
“It appears they are friends who had a dispute over some issue. The other two are also minors,” SHO Jitendra Rana told reporters, highlighting the complexities of the case.
Ongoing Efforts and Family Notification
Patna police have already informed the boy’s family in Uttar Pradesh about his successful rescue, providing much-needed relief to the concerned relatives. Efforts are currently underway to identify and trace the two other individuals mentioned by the minor, as the investigation continues to unfold.
The case underscores the importance of inter-state police coordination and prompt action in missing persons scenarios, particularly involving minors. Authorities are working diligently to ensure all aspects of the incident are thoroughly examined to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the boy’s detention in Patna.
