Missing teen suspected to be in Patan

Vadodara: A class XII boy living on Dabhoi Road has been missing since the morning of February 1 when his father dropped him off at a cricket ground at Bhutdi Zampa for coaching.
The 17-year-old boy was not found when his cousin went to the ground to pick him up around 10.30am on February 1. The boy’s cousin asked the cricket coach but the coach said that he had not turned up for practice that morning.On searching around in the area, the boy was not found so the family members went to his friends’ houses to find out if he had gone there.
The parents then approached police and a complaint of abduction was registered at City police station. “We tried calling the boy on his phone, but it was switched off so we checked the call detail records on Wednesday,” said a police official.
The call detail records revealed that the boy was in contact with a girl in Radhanpur in Patan and he may have fled there. “We have sent a team to Radhanpur to find the boy and bring him back and efforts are also on to search for him in the city,” the police official added.
