In a relief to their families, two teenage boys who had run away from a private school in Mahisadal earlier this week were successfully rescued by police on Sunday. The duo, both hailing from Chandipur, were found in the area under the jurisdiction of the Airport police station, concluding a search that lasted several days.
Disappearance During School Sports Event
The two students managed to slip away from their school campus on Wednesday. According to police officials, the boys chose a moment when a sports event was underway, using the distraction and likely the increased movement of people to leave the premises unnoticed. Their absence triggered immediate concern, leading to a formal search operation.
Four-Day Search Ends with Rescue
The East Midnapore police, spearheading the efforts, located and rescued the teenagers on Sunday. The operation culminated in the Airport police station area, though specific details about their condition or how they were traced have not been fully disclosed. The acting superintendent of police for East Midnapore, Mitun Kumar De, confirmed the development and outlined the next legal step.
Legal Proceedings to Follow
"They will be produced before the court on Monday," stated Mitun Kumar De. This procedure is standard in such cases to formalize the handover of the minors to their guardians or to determine the necessary counseling and support. The incident has highlighted concerns about student security and supervision within educational institutions, especially during large-scale events.
The rescue brings an end to an anxious period for the families of the Chandipur residents. Authorities are likely to investigate the precise reasons behind the boys' decision to leave the school, aiming to prevent similar incidents in the future.
