Mumbai police to visit Varanasi for missing boy

About a week after two of three missing minor children from Nagpada were traced to Varanasi, the Mumbai police is getting ready to send a team to look for the last missing child, a four-year-old boy.

The Nagpada police, which is investigating the case, will be looking into possible reports of the boy being sighted in certain areas of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.

On April 24, Gulfam Rasul went missing while playing with his sister Tarannum (6) and their friend Kulsum Khan (6). Four days later, the two girls, Tarannum and Kulsum, were traced to Varanasi and brought back home.

While Tarannum and Kulsum were rescued in Varanasi after the girls cried out for help and managed to gather a crowd, the abductors managed to get away from the scene with Gulfam in tow.

Sources reveal the police scanned through the CCTV footage and was able to make a rough sketch of the abductors. While officers did not confirm this, citing the case is still under investigation, a team of three officers from the Nagpada police station will be leaving for Varanasi tomorrow.

“A team will be leaving for Varanasi where we have had certain reports of the boy being sighted,” said a senior officer.
