However, the boy—believed to be over 10 years old—was unable to speak.Suspecting that he may have wandered away from home unnoticed, the officers immediately sought assistance from another patrol unit, Hoysala-53.

After about 30 minutes of questioning, some residents recognized the child and contacted his parents.Meanwhile, the boy’s parents, distressed by his sudden disappearance, had been searching for him across multiple locations. The officers guided them to a designated spot, where the child was safely reunited with his family.In another incident reported from KR Puram on the afternoon of April 7, police faced a more challenging situation involving a missing three-year-old boy.
