Two minor boys have gone missing from the Panchwati Nagar area near ITI under Pandra OP in Ranchi, leaving their families deeply worried. The missing children have been identified as 10-year-old Himanshu Raj and 12-year-old Ayush Kumar.
According to their families, both children left home at around 7 am on September 1, saying they were going to school. However, they did not return home at their usual time. When the children failed to come back, family members initially began searching for them on their own.
The families reportedly checked the school, nearby areas and other possible locations. They also contacted relatives, friends and acquaintances in an attempt to find out whether the children had gone somewhere with someone they knew. Despite these efforts, no information about their whereabouts has been received so far.
Following the disappearance, family members have continued searching different locations and asking local residents for information. With no confirmed lead yet, the families have now appealed to the public for help in locating the two boys and ensuring their safe return.
For information regarding Himanshu Raj, the family has provided two contact numbers: 6204196725 and 6202067176. Anyone who spots Himanshu or has any information about his whereabouts has been requested to contact the family immediately.
For information about 12-year-old Ayush Kumar, people can contact 7250604136 or 9431706878.
The families have urged people to remain alert and share any reliable information that could help locate the children. They have also requested that people avoid spreading rumours or unverified information, as the safety of the two minors remains their biggest concern.
Anyone who may have seen either child or has information about their movements after they left home is requested to inform the family through the numbers provided without delay.
