Three Children from Ranchi Remain Untraced After CCTV Sighting at Hatia Station

A political protest seeks to pressure police to validate shaky leads before the case grows into a larger public crisis.

Overview

  • The parents filed an FIR on June 1 reporting three children missing from Dhurwa, including 12-year-old twins Karan and Arjun.
  • Police say CCTV footage obtained from the Railway Protection Force shows the twin brothers with another child at Hatia railway station on June 3 but does not prove they boarded a train or left the area.
  • Senior police officers have formed a special investigation team and say search operations were intensified by June 12–13 as investigators follow up on all leads.
  • The twins' mother has accused a neighbouring family who run a bicycle-repair shop of taking the boys and alleges they were beaten, a claim the police have recorded while continuing their probe.
  • The BJP held a torchlight procession in Ranchi on June 13 to demand faster action and accountability while police investigate an unverified phone tip claiming the children were hospitalised in Karnataka.
