Gorakhpur (UP), Sep 25 (PTI) A frantic four-hour search for a missing Class 4 boy in Gorakhpur ended dramatically when police, aided by a sniffer dog, found him fast asleep inside his house in a corner where he hid to avoid tuition.

The boy, 10-year-old Lakshya Pratap Singh, had gone out to play around 5 pm Wednesday but did not return, prompting his family to suspect abduction, police said.

His grandfather, Sadanand Singh, lodged a complaint at Chiluatal police station, after which police circulated the child’s photo across stations and WhatsApp groups, and launched checks at railway stations and bus stands, the police said on Thursday. Show Full Article
