On November 22, a family in Bihar’s Begusarai district gave a written application in the local police station that their minor daughter has gone missing and they suspected her tutor to be her kidnapper.

A week on, the police have made no arrests in the case. The girl remains missing.

The application by the girl’s mother says that on November 20, her daughter left home around 9:30 am for Sameer Coaching Centre, as per her daily schedule. When she did not return by 12:30 pm, the mother went to the centre. She was informed that the girl had left the centre with the owner, Mohammad Jaseem alias Sameer, only an hour ago. Since then, there has been no trace of the girl.
