Mumbai Police Reunite Boy Missing for Nearly Three Years with FamilyPreviousNext

Mumbai police reunited 11-year-old Anis Khan with his family after nearly three years. The boy initially ran away in 2020 to avoid school and was found wandering near Juhu Chowpatty in October 2023. Unable to identify his parents, police placed him in Snehasadan Children's Home, from which he went missing again. A special police team conducted extensive investigations using multiple databases and visited various child care institutions before confirming his identity and family in Malwani.
