Boys were served food and asked about their place. They only knew that they are from Ferozepur but they failed to provide any phone number or exact address of their parents.

The boy was not aware about the place wher his father used to work. He, along with his friend, left Ferozepur with an intention to meet his father as he had not met him for the past few months,” the ACP added.
