Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala): In what comes as good news, a 13-year-old girl from Assam, Thasmit Thamsat, who ran away from Kazhakkoottam, Kerala, will come back to the state after being found in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
The child was located around 10:15 PM last night after a 38-hour search operation. A four-member team led by Kazhakkoottam Station Inspector Ranjith is currently en route to Visakhapatnam to bring her back to the state. She is presently under the protection of the Railway Protection Force (RPF).
The Malayalee Association representatives in Visakhapatnam discovered the girl on a train travelling from Tambaram in Tamil Nadu to Chittaranjan in West Bengal. The police initially received a lead when a passenger reported seeing the girl on the Island Express heading to Kanyakumari early Wednesday morning after she had gone missing on Tuesday morning.
The Island Express goes from Kanyakumari to KSR Bengaluru City Junction and vice versa. Subsequent investigations by Tamil Nadu Police confirmed that the girl had boarded a train from Kanyakumari at Chennai-Egmore station.
However, she later switched to a local train heading from Egmore to Tambaram. From Tambaram, she boarded the Antyodaya Express, which took her to Visakhapatnam, where she was finally found by the Malayalee Association representatives.
