PHOOLNAGAR: A four-year-old child went missing from Saharan Kay village on September 10.

Ismail left his home around 7am to buy items from a nearby shop, but never returned. His parents made desperate attempts to trace him in the neighbourhood, but were unable to find any clue to his whereabouts. Fearing that the child may have been abducted, Ismail’s father Asif got a case registered at Sadr police station.

The police said a search operation had been launched to recover the child. “We are treating this case with utmost urgency. Different teams have been assigned to collect CCTV footage from the area and record statements of shopkeepers and residents,” SHO Raheel Khan told reporters. The police have appealed to the public to share any information that could help locate the missing child. The incident has caused concern among the residents as only a few days ago a five-year-old girl was raped and killed in Phoolnagar.
