Without a trace 16-year-old vanishes; film star posts video

For the past 10 days, baffling the police, a 16-year-old vanishes without a trace.

Manikanta, who lives in Girinagar, Bengaluru, has been missing for the past 10 days and the police have not met with any breakthrough in their investigation.

When the police had questioned his friends, they (friends) said that he had enquired about how to reach the Satellite Bus Stand on Mysuru Road. “We suspect he tried to go to Mysuru,” an officer added.

Leaving neither a note nor carrying a mobile phone in person or tried to call his family, the boy is practically untraceable.

Meanwhile, Manikanta’s parents Ramesh and Rupa are hoping that one day their son would return.

His uncle Raghvendra has been making all-out efforts to trace his nephew. “We have put up his pictures on social media networking site like Facebook and also shared the information on WhatsApp groups. Also, his photo has been shared with roadside food establishments and dhabas in Mysuru and Bengaluru.”

The cops are helpless as the parents did not wish to circulate his photo around. It would have been easier to find him. However, the police have informed their counterparts for help.

Police investigation revealed that Manikanta was allegedly upset when his parents questioned him as to why he didn’t go to attend his tuition classes.

According to Raghvendra, Manikanta went to attend tuition class on Saturday and returned home. He was visibly upset but showed no signs of depression.

“He attended the special extra classes on Sunday too, and had returned home in the noon. He ate lunch and then said that he is heading out to play, but, he never returned,” Raghvendra said.

Meanwhile, supporting the family, Sandalwood star Sudeep has recorded a video and urged the minor boy, who is his fan, to return home. The star exhorted Manikanta to return as his family was waiting.

In the video, Sudeep also assured Manikanta that he would meet him once he returns.
