Two minor siblings go missing in Punjab

Phagwara (Punjab), June 5 (UNI) Two minor siblings were reported missing late Wednesday under suspicious circumstances from Gobindpura locality of Phagwara, police said, adding they have registered a case against unidentified persons following a complaint lodged by Satish Anand, a migrant labourer hailing from Bihar and a resident of Gobindpura.
According to the complaint, Anand and his wife Radha had gone to work on Wednesday morning, leaving their two sons, Shivam (12) and Bambam (10), in the care of their maternal grandmother at their residence in Gobindpura.
Upon returning home later in the day, the couple find both children missing. The grandmother, who was supposed to be supervising the children, was reportedly unaware of when or how the boys disappeared, police said.
Alarmed by their absence, Anand immediately approached the police, expressing suspicion that the children might have been kidnapped.
A police officer said a case has been registered under Section 346 IPC, which deals with the wrongful confinement of a person with the intent to keep him secret or out of public view.
“As of now, no arrests have been made. We are actively investigating all possible angles, including
the possibility of abduction. Efforts are underway to trace the missing children. We are also speaking
to neighbours and potential witnesses,” said the investigating officer, requesting anonymity.
The police have launched a search operation and are examining CCTV footage from the area to gather leads. They have also appealed to the public to come forward with any information that might help in locating the children.
