KOZHIKODE: One more from the six girls who went missing from Vellimadukunnu Children's Home yesterday, has been found. The girl was found in the bus from Mandya in Karnataka. The girl was caught while she was returning home in a private bus.
Two youths who reached a hotel in Bengaluru with the girls at around 2.30 pm yesterday, tried to book a room. The hotel staffs on suspicion asked for their documents. The hotel staff tried to detain them when they informed that their mobile phones were stolen and had no documents. One was caught in the midst of this and the others escaped.
Six girls escaped by climbing a ladder on top of a building during Republic Day Celebrations at the children's home. They are between the ages of 15 and 18 and are involved in various cases. They got the help of two youths to escape from the children's home. Two teams of police had gone to Bengaluru in search of the girls.
As they had no money, the children travelled after borrowing money from people seen on roads. The girl found in Mandya said the other four had left to Goa. However, the police believe that they have not gone too far. Following the incident, the State Child Rights Commission visited the Balika Mandir. The commission is also conducting a detailed investigation into the incident.
