Four missing children from Jaipur found safe in Ayodhya, had left home for Ram Lalla darshan
Jaipur, June 25
The mystery surrounding the disappearance of four children from the same family in Jaipur's Muhana area has been solved. The children, who had gone missing after leaving home without informing their families, were traced safely to Ayodhya. Their family heaved a sigh of relief after learning that all four were safe and unharmed.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when the children returned home from tuition classes and later left the house in the afternoon without telling anyone.
The missing group included a 13-year-old girl, her 9-year-old sister, their 11-year-old cousin, and her 8-year-old brother.
When the children failed to return by evening, worried family members launched a search and subsequently filed a missing persons report at Muhana Police Station. Acting swiftly, the police began an intensive search operation and eventually succeeded in locating the children in Ayodhya.
Taking the matter seriously, Station House Officer (SHO) Gur Bhupendra formed multiple teams and initiated a detailed investigation.
Police examined CCTV footage from Malpura Gate Bus Stand, nearby markets, and other public places.
The footage showed all four children walking together towards Malpura Gate. In one clip, they were seen stopping at a bangle shop, while another showed them standing near an e-rickshaw. Investigators questioned several e-rickshaw drivers in the area, helping them piece together the route the children had taken. Since none of the children carried mobile phones, tracking their exact location proved challenging. Nevertheless, persistent investigation and ground-level inquiries ultimately led police to Ayodhya.
According to police, the children had long wished to visit Ayodhya, seek blessings from Ram Lalla, and see the grand Ram Mandir.
Motivated by this desire, they left home without informing anyone and boarded a train.
During their journey, they travelled on a route connected to Sultanpur and Kushinagar before eventually reaching Ayodhya.
Muhana Police confirmed that all four children were found safe and in good health. The news brought immense relief to both the family and the police team, who had been working tirelessly to locate them.
A police team, accompanied by family members, has now left for Ayodhya to bring the children back home to Jaipur.

Honestly, this is both heartwarming and scary. The kids' faith is inspiring - they walked all the way from Jaipur to Ayodhya just to see Ram Lalla! But as a mother, I can't imagine the panic the family went through. So relieved they're safe. Kerala se bhi aise incidents sunne ko milte hain, but glad Rajasthan police was quick to act.
Good that they are safe, but parents need to be more aware. Children these days have such strong opinions and feelings - they planned this whole trip without any phones or help. Shows the power of faith and determination in our culture. Ram Mandir ka attraction real hai bas itna keh sakte hain! 😄
क्या बात है! 13, 9, 11 और 8 साल के बच्चों ने इतनी हिम्मत दिखाई। लेकिन ये भी सच है कि आजकल बच्चों को पढ़ाई का इतना दबाव है कि वो कुछ भी कर सकते हैं। उम्मीद है परिवार और पुलिस मिलकर समझाएंगे कि ऐसा न करें। अच्छा हुआ पुलिस ने तुरंत एक्शन लिया।
Yaar, itna pyara story hai! Kids literally ran away for darshan! Jaipur to Ayodhya by train without phones - that's some adventure. But hopefully parents will keep a closer watch now. Thanks to police for handling
