Kerala: Missing teen found 2 years later with 4-month-old baby in Tamil Nadu

Two years after a 14-year-old girl went missing from Kerala’s Palakkad district, the police found her a few days ago in Tamil Nadu with a four-month-old baby.

Two years ago, a fourteen-year-old girl went missing from Kerala’s Palakkad district. On June 18, she was found by the police in Madurai, Tamil Nadu with a four-month-old infant. The 16-year-old mother was living with a 22-year-old man who is yet to be found, the police said. The couple had allegedly eloped in 2019. “He used to work with her mother earlier, doing catering in Palakkad. We are not sure if the family was aware that they were living together, more details have to be sought,” an official was quoted as saying in The News Minute. The young girl is from Kozhinjampara in Palakkad, which is located at the Tamil Nadu border. After her parents alerted the police when she went missing, the Kozhinjampara police filed a missing person’s case. Despite investigation, she could not be traced back then.
