Naharlagun, April 2:
A minor girl reported missing from Naharlagun since March 26, 2026, was successfully traced and rescued from Guwahati following prompt and coordinated action by police teams across states.
Acting on the complaint, Inspector K. Dev, Officer-in-Charge of Naharlagun Police Station, tracked the girl’s movement to Fancy Bazaar in Guwahati after confirming that she had boarded a bus from Naharlagun. Preliminary findings indicated that she had left home out of fear of parental scolding over poor academic performance.
Upon reaching Guwahati, the girl was reportedly approached by two suspected women who attempted to mislead her, raising concerns of possible trafficking. Based on timely inputs shared by Naharlagun Police, a team from Pan Bazaar Police Station swiftly intervened, located the minor, and ensured her safe rescue.
She was subsequently brought back and reunited with her family. The suspected women managed to flee upon noticing the police presence.
Superintendent of Police, ICR, Dr. Nyelam Nega, stressed the importance of parental guidance, care, and emotional support for young individuals, particularly during difficult phases, to help prevent such incidents.
