Bengaluru Boy Goes Missing, Travels Across 3 Cities With 100 Rupees

A 12-year-old Bengaluru boy who went missing on Sunday night was traced at a metro station in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The boy is a Class 6 student of Deens Academy who was last seen leaving a coaching centre in Whitefield, Bengaluru and then at a petrol pump near Yemlur. He was last spotted deboarding a bus at the Majestic Bus Terminus. Read on to learn more about this report. 

As per reports, since the boy went missing, social media posts by his parents went viral. The posts were urging people to help them find their son Parinav. The parents posted the request with CCTV footage of him walking across a road. The mother of the boy posted a video requesting him to come back.

How Parinav escaped the police 

The police started searching the boy by tracing the spots where he was last seen. 

Parinav reportedly went from Bengaluru to Mysore and then to Hyderabad via Chennai. He had 100 Rs with him and earned 100 more by selling a few Parker pens to potential customers. He managed to escape the radar of the police as each time police tried to trace him to a place, he moved to another. 

Many social media users even volunteered to go to Majestic to trace Parinav. His posters were circulated online which led a passenger in the Hyderabad metro station to identify Parinav. When the passenger confronted him, Parinav confirmed his identity. Then, he was stopped at the Nampally metro station.

What did the parents say

His parents were informed about his whereabouts and they are on the way to Hyderabad. His father, Sukesh who is an engineer, has no idea how Parinav ended up in Hyderabad. "I really want to thank all those nameless strangers who helped us in finding my boy. Without his picture being splashed all over, the person in Hyderabad would never have thought to stop a boy and ask," he said.

His mother too is clueless but thankful to everyone who helped her in finding her son. She is happy that he is safe and is going to pick him up.
