4 minors on way to Shimla rescued by police, safely reunited with families

The Amaravati Police Post team safely reunited four missing minors with their families after they lost their way while attempting to travel to Shimla without informing their parents.

DCP Srishti Gupta stated that on Sunday evening, at around 7 pm, the owner of a roadside eatery near Rampur Suudi village on the Kalka-Shimla highway informed the police control room about four minors seen wandering in a confused state. Acting swiftly on the tip-off, the ERV-525 team, led by In-charge Ramesh, rushed to the spot and took the children into safe custody before bringing them to the Amaravati Police Post.

Sub-Inspector Pritam Singh, In-charge of the police post, carried out a detailed inquiry with the children. It was revealed that the boys, aged between 12 and 14 years, were residents of Karnal district, Haryana. They had decided amongst themselves to visit Shimla without informing their families. They neither carried mobile phones nor could recall their parents’ phone numbers.

The police post in-charge immediately contacted the local police station in Karnal and shared details of the case. The Karnal police then notified the families, who hurried to Panchkula. At around 11.30 pm, the children were safely handed over to their parents.
