A father’s anguish has captured headlines in Bhagalpur, Bihar, where daughters Sonakshi and Jiya, minors from Warsaliganj and Maheshpur under Babarganj PS, have been missing since January 8—now a agonizing 23 days later. Police efforts have yielded nothing substantial, raising alarms on child safety protocols.
Desperate families have knocked on every door: Babarganj thana, SSP, City SP, DSP—receiving only routine nods of ‘investigation underway.’ The void of results has turned hope into helplessness.
At Eastern Range IG Vivek Kumar’s office today, Sonakshi’s parents made a heartfelt appeal. Subodh Kumar, overcome with emotion during media interaction, sobbed recounting memories of his girl. The scene brought tears to onlookers’ eyes, highlighting the profound family trauma.
DIG reiterated commitment with an SIT in place, but repeated assurances ring hollow. As dread of mishap looms over the household, the episode spotlights systemic lapses in swift response to missing children. Public gaze intensifies: when will these girls come home safe?
