On query, it was found that she is from a South Indian state. A BSF constable from Karnataka talked to her and came to know that her name is Kallamma B and she is 40-years-old. She also informed that she is the resident of Banali village in Davanagere," said Nayak.

From the mobile that she had with her, BSF contacted her brother Kumarachari to inform that his sister is missing from home for last three-four months.
"She had boarded the wrong train. The local police were informed. SHO Nilambazar police station district in Karimganj, suggested keeping the woman with an NGO called Ujjawala Home, at Nilambazar.

Thereafter, BSF along with Kumarachari visited Ujjawala Home and handed over the woman to her brother through BSF. "This is the second time that highly alert BSF troops have rescued missing women. Last year also the same battalion had rescued a lady from Hassan in Karnataka," explained Nayak. Kallamma's brother Kumarachari thanked BSF for reuniting his sister with the family. "She is married. She is missing for the last three months. Now BSF helped us to trace her. We are grateful to BSF," said Kumarachari, a carpenter by profession
