A minor went missing in Gujarat. The trail has led police to flood-hit Nepal

A Rajkot father in Gujarat has been seeking his missing daughter's return, leading to an unexpected investigation in Nepal. The 17-year-old girl vanished on August 6 and did not return home. Her father lodged a police complaint on August 7, alleging that a man from another faith had kidnapped her. The father also claimed that the suspect had been harassing his daughter for over a year, and had allegedly threatened to take her during a past family dispute.

Electronic evidence gathered by the police pointed to Nepal as the location where the minor and the suspect crossed the border. The court heard that the investigation is ongoing in Nepal due to the extreme situation caused by recent floods. The minor is believed to have left home without her sister's knowledge while her mother was away attending a beauty parlour job.

The court has issued a notice to track down the minor and the suspect, with a deadline of September 28.
