Missing boy returns

NEW DELHI: Nearly three months after he went missing, a 16-year-old boy returned to his parents at New Sanjay Amar Colony in Anand Vihar here on Monday.

“His mother had sent him to buy eatables from a nearby market last December 8. But he lost the money and was too scared to return home. He was found loitering around Shahdara railway station by one Kapil who lured him to his village in Baghpat with the promise of a job. He was made to work in the fields as a bonded labour there. However, the boy managed to escape on Monday,” said social worker Rajkumar Dhingan, patron of Punya Bhumi Bharat Manch.

Over two-dozen children have reportedly gone missing from the colony since 2002. Six minors, including three girls, had gone missing from New Sanjay Amar Colony earlier this month.
