The Story in Brief
A 14-year-old girl from Jagtial in Telangana, who went missing after school on Wednesday, was traced at Gwalior Railway Station in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday night. Police say she left school in casual clothes, took an autorickshaw, and left behind a letter saying she was not planning suicide. Investigators suspect she was influenced through Instagram contacts.
Two police teams and the Railway Police coordinated the search after CCTV footage showed her route. The girl, whose family originally hails from Madhya Pradesh, was secured by Railway Police and handed over to her grandfather. She will be brought back to Jagtial by Saturday.
The Indian Opinion
Social media is being blamed before the full story is out. The girl left a letter saying she was not suicidal, and the police say she was influenced through Instagram. But this risks turning a complex teenager’s decision into another scare story about apps. The real question is whether the school or family noticed any warning signs. A concrete test will be whether the police trace the Instagram accounts and confirm any malicious influence, rather than assume it.
