The girls had left their homes to purchase items for a birthday celebration but did not return, following which their families approached the police.
According to the complaint lodged by Jyoti Devi, her 13 year old daughter Aashika Kumari had gone to Tajpur Road on May 26, 2026, along with her friend Khushi Kumari, 16, to buy birthday-related items. However, when the two girls failed to return home for several hours, their families began searching for them.
The families conducted extensive searches among relatives and in nearby localities, but no trace of the girls could be found. Subsequently, the matter was reported to the police.
