When 13-year-old from Patiala went missing, family had hunch he could've made the plan since he was big fan of channel that has 1.7 crore subscribers
A 13-year-old boy from Patiala in Punjab, who cycled over 250 kilometres to Delhi over three days in an attempt to meet his favourite YouTube star, was found and handed back to his family by the police today. For all that effort over three days, the boy was short on luck — he made it to the Pitampura apartment of Nischay Malhan, ‘Triggered Insaan' on YouTube, but he was not home. “He was traveling to Dubai,” police said.
When the boy, a Class 8 student, went missing on October 4, his parents had a hunch he could've made the plan since he was obsessed with ‘Triggered Insaan', a humour and parody channel with nearly 1.7 crore subscribers.
The family and Patiala Police used social media to gather hints and alerted the cops in Delhi. The YouTuber, too, put out an appeal for information and urged the boy to contact home.
CCTV camera footage from a number of places on the route showed the boy. It was not clear where he stayed overnight or rested at all.
