‘Kidnapped’ child found sleeping at home

BENGALURU: In an unusual incident, the police and parents of a six-year-old girl launched a manhunt for the child assuming that she had been kidnapped, only to find her asleep at home next to a pile of clothes.

Meena, a resident of Janata Colony in K R Puram, suddenly found her daughter missing and approached the K R Puram police alleging that the child had been kidnapped. The police and the child’s parents then searched the locality and adjoining areas for the child.
