Mumbai Police and Ahmedabad Railway Police Rescue Two Missing Schoolgirls at Sabarmati Station
In a coordinated interstate operation, the Ahmedabad Railway Police rescued two minor girls from Mumbai who went missing after leaving home for school, intercepting them as they stepped off a train at Sabarmati Railway Station.
The two girls, aged 12 and 15, had reportedly told their families in Mumbai that they were heading to school before vanishing without a trace. When initial search efforts yielded no clues, their anxious families lodged a missing person complaint with the local Mumbai police. Investigation revealed that after leaving Mumbai, the duo boarded a train and initially traveled to North India.
Technical Tracking Traces Girls to Express Train
A breakthrough came through a blend of technical surveillance and human intelligence, which alerted Mumbai Police that the minors were traveling back toward Gujarat aboard Train No. 19402, the Lucknow–Sabarmati Express.
Recognising the urgency, Mumbai officials immediately alerted the Ahmedabad Railway Police, dispatching photographs and key identification details of both girls to launch a swift search effort.
Midnight Interception at Sabarmati Railway Station
Acting under top-level supervision, a Local Crime Branch (LCB) team from the Western Railway—led by Police Inspector J.R. Desai and PSI K.S. Bhuriya—staged a targeted vigil across Sabarmati Railway Station.
When the Lucknow–Sabarmati Express pulled into the station at 11:05 PM, alert officers swept the coaches, spotted the two minors, and secured them safely before they could slip away.
Ahmedabad authorities immediately notified their counterparts in Maharashtra. A team from Mumbai Police, alongside the relieved parents of both girls, traveled to Ahmedabad shortly after to complete statutory legal formalities and take safe custody of the minors.
