Six years ago, a 14-year-old girl from Bokaro district, Jharkhand, vanished while heading to tuition classes. Her family found her bicycle and books scattered nearby, sparking a desperate search that has since been marked by alleged police negligence. The Jharkhand High Court has recently criticized the local police's handling of the case, suggesting it may be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) if no progress is made in three weeks. The girl's family received a ransom call in January 2021, demanding ₹10 lakh (approximately $12,000 USD) from a number traced to Kerala, but police investigations have led to no significant breakthroughs. Witnesses reported seeing two boys dragging a girl near the area, yet police have not followed up adequately. The case has drawn further attention due to the suspension of all 28 officers from the local police station for inaction in another missing person case. The girl's mother, who still keeps her daughter's books as evidence, remains hopeful for her return, stating, 'Every day, I still feel my daughter is calling me.' The next court hearing is scheduled for June 8.
