Two-year-old girl missing from bus station

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: A two-year old girl Bhumika has gone missing from the Kempe Gowda Bus Station (Majestic) on October 2 when she was with her uncle Visveswaraiah on platform number 15.

The toddler, accompanied by her mother Girija, aunt Susheela and uncle Visveswaraiah, had just alighted from the train from Mandya.

She was wearing an orange frock on that day, recalled her grieving mother.

“After getting down from the train we walked to Majestic bus-stand and were waiting for a bus to reach home in Hulimavu. I left Bhumika with my sister and went to look for the bus. Then my sister followed me leaving my baby with her husband. When we came back to take our luggage and Bhumika after the bus arrived, she was not around. My brother-in-law, who was reading details on his new bus pass, had assumed she came along with me.

“But she was nowhere around,” Ms Girija said.

Her husband Srinivas, who works for a housekeeping enterprise, said that they looked for Bhumika everywhere before lodging a complaint with the police.
