₹1 Lakh Reward For Tracing Missing Girl

According to the police, the missing child Jnaneswari, daughter of Sunkara Ganesh and Bhavani of Dondavaka panchayat, was staying with her parents in a garden where they worked as caretakers. On Saturday evening, the boy reportedly left the garden with the family dog ​​to look for his father.

Despite an intense search operation involving approximately 100 personnel, no trace of the child was found until Monday night.

The area includes about 1,000 acres of forest land and adjacent hills, making the search difficult, police said. Search teams, assisted by forest personnel and local residents, scanned the forest area for both the child and the dog.

The search parties included 25 SDRF personnel, 10 special party members, seven CIs, some SIs, police personnel, forest department personnel and local villagers.

Police were using drone surveillance, dog teams, clue teams and other technological tools as part of the search operation.

Tuni rural CI Chennakesava Rao said special teams are reviewing CCTV footage and conducting investigations in Agraharam and neighboring villages to ascertain whether foreign persons were seen in the area at the time of the incident.

Some suspects were questioned but no significant clues emerged.

Sources said a person noticed the child while passing through the garden. He tried to approach her but was blocked by the dog. He then informed the villagers, who in turn warned the girl’s family.

Family members, relatives and villagers launched a search before filing a complaint with the Tunisian rural police.

After his visit to the area on Sunday, SP Bindu Madhav instructed the officials to intensify searches using advanced technology. Peddapuram DSP Tilak was monitoring the operation.

Authorities say wild dogs and foxes are known to live in the forest. All possible angles are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation.
