Police have launched a manhunt for a 12-year-old national bravery hero from Maharashtra honoured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has been kidnapped along with his sibling from their home here, police said on Saturday.
Investigating Officer Vandana Sonawane said a special team had been set up to investigate the missing of Nilesh and Ganpat Bhil. All police stations in the city and surrounding areas had been told to keep a lookout for the two boys.
“We have published appeals to the public in the media, put up posters with photos of both the boys at public places and our policemen are fanning out to track them,” Sonawane said. Theboys’ parents, Revaram Bhil and Sundarbai, filed a complaint with the police station on Friday. According to their mother Sundarbai R Bhil, their two minor sons have been missing since Tuesday and Thursday respectively and may have been kidnapped by unknown persons.
“The parents enquired with all their relatives, friends and Nilesh’s friends but got no clues. After they returned home from a full day of hunt for Nilesh, they learnt their seven-year-old Ganpat had also gone missing,” Sonawane said. -IANS
