On April 2, four minors, aged between 13 and 16, escaped from a moving vehicle in Bengaluru, India, raising serious concerns about child protection protocols. The boys had been rescued the previous day from the busy BMTC bus station in Majestic after being brought to the city for work as painters. They were transported to a shelter home in Gandhinagar but managed to slip out of the vehicle during heavy traffic on Mysore Road. A complaint filed by BOSCO, a prominent NGO in Karnataka, highlighted the incident, which occurred due to a failure to secure the vehicle's rear door properly. Authorities have registered a case under Section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which addresses kidnapping. Investigators are examining CCTV footage and have contacted the father of one boy to gather more information. The escape has sparked discussions about the safety of vulnerable children in urban settings and the need for better protective measures.
