Search Continues for Missing Toddler in Andhra Pradesh Using GPS-Tracked Dog

Analysed 13 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Tuni, India·Crime
Search Continues for Missing Toddler in Andhra Pradesh Using GPS-Tracked DogPreviousNext

A two-year-old girl went missing on June 6 from a palm oil plantation in Tuni mandal, Andhra Pradesh, after a miscommunication between her parents. The family’s pet dog, which accompanied her, returned home days later without the child. Police have deployed over 250 personnel, including special teams, drones, and fitted the dog with a GPS tracker to aid the search. Despite these efforts, no clues have emerged, and the search continues amid concerns due to the forested area nearby.
