Unnao Police Swiftly Rescues Three Missing Children Within 16 Hours
Unnao police achieved a remarkable success by tracing and rescuing three missing children within just 16 hours of their disappearance. Officials confirmed this swift action on Wednesday, highlighting the efficiency of the local law enforcement team.
Children Go Missing After Piggy Bank Incident
The incident unfolded on January 13 when a woman from Nawabganj raised an alarm. She contacted Dial-112 around 11:30 am to report that her three children had gone missing. The Ajgain police station immediately responded to the distress call.
Officers rushed to the spot and initiated a preliminary enquiry. During their investigation, police uncovered a surprising detail. The children had broken their grandmother's piggy bank and taken out some money. This act led to a scolding from their family members.
Upset over the reprimand, the two minor girls and the boy decided to leave home without informing anyone. Their disappearance prompted the registration of an FIR under Section 137(2) of the BNS at the Ajgain police station.
Intensive Search Operation Launched
Unnao SSP Jai Prakash Singh took immediate charge of the situation. He directed a comprehensive search operation under the supervision of ASP (South) Premchand and CO Hasanganj Arvind Kumar Chaurasia. The police team left no stone unturned in their efforts to locate the missing kids.
They meticulously scanned nearby areas and examined potential railway routes. Analysis of CCTV footage played a crucial role in tracking the children's movements. The dedicated efforts of the police personnel finally yielded positive results on Wednesday.
Children Found Playing in Sand at Mishra Ghat
The breakthrough came when the kids were discovered playing in the sand at Mishra Ghat in the Gangaghat area. During questioning, the children revealed their journey to the police. They explained that they had walked to Kusumbhi station after leaving home.
From there, they boarded a MEMU train and eventually got down at Gangaghat. The police ensured the safe reunion of the children with their relieved family members. SSP Jai Prakash Singh announced a cash reward of Rs 10,000 for the recovery team in recognition of their prompt and effective action.
This incident underscores the importance of quick police response and community alertness in safeguarding children. The use of Dial-112 proved instrumental in initiating the rescue operation without delay.
