Hyderabad missing minor girls traced on moving train, reunited with families
Hyderabad: Mailardevpally Police traced three missing minor girls on a moving train in Madhya Pradesh using technical surveillance and coordinated efforts with the Railway Police before safely reuniting them with their families.
According to police, the three girls left their homes on July 24 after becoming emotionally distressed following repeated reprimands by their parents over trivial issues. They travelled by auto-rickshaw from Katedan to Budvel Railway Station, proceeded to Secunderabad Railway Station and boarded the Dakshin Express bound for Delhi.
On July 25 at around 11 a.m., the mother of one of the girls lodged a missing complaint at the Mailardevpally Police Station. Treating the case as a priority, the Rajendranagar Zone police launched a coordinated search operation under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Five special teams were formed to trace the girls. Investigators examined CCTV footage from multiple locations to reconstruct their movements. During the investigation, police found that one of the girls had secretly carried a mobile phone and was using an Instagram account. By identifying the account and tracing the linked mobile number, investigators used technical analysis to determine the group’s location.

The technical evidence confirmed that the girls were travelling on the Dakshin Express. Further analysis enabled investigators to identify the specific coach and seat numbers. Acting on the information, the Railway Police intercepted the train at Bina Railway Station in Madhya Pradesh and safely secured the girls without any harm.
The girls were later brought back to Hyderabad. After completing the required legal formalities and counselling, police handed them over to their respective parents.
The Rajendranagar Police also advised parents to maintain open communication with their children and address emotional concerns with patience and understanding. They urged parents to monitor their children’s online activities and encourage them to seek support from family members or trusted adults during difficult situations instead of making impulsive decisions.
