2 students from Sikkim,1 from Nepal, missing from Gujarat school

Prakash Adhikari and Sujal Pradhan, EOI, Gangtok, 9 September 2023 : Two students from Sikkim, Paljor Tamang and Devraj Subba, both 15 years old, and one from Nepal, were missing from Nautanpuri  Dham School in Jamnagar, Gujarat, on August 28. 

Paljor and Devraj, both eighth-grade students, had recently enrolled in the school. They were last seen at 11 am on the day they went missing. Local authorities and the parents of the students have been searching for clues about their whereabouts. 

The families of the missing students have accused the school of failing to provide sufficient information regarding the missing students. CCTV footage showed the three, including one from Nepal, were purchasing a ticket for Delhi at Jaipur Railway Station. 

Despite intensive efforts, they remained untraceable. With no mobile phones to track, authorities were meticulously examining CCTV footage from various Delhi railway stations, sources said. It has been learnt from a police team tracking them that their route was from Khijda temple to Khambhaliya Railway Station, where they boarded an Okha Jaipur train on the same day. 

Political Secretary to the Chief Minister of Sikkim Jacob Khaling said in a Press release that Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang had talked with the Resident Commissioner of Delhiand asked him to maintain coordination with the Gujarat police. 

The Gujarat Police in their search investigation had reported that on September 6 a four- member police team left for Delhi from Jaipur. There was high probability that the boys were presently in Delhi.
