A six-year-old boy who cannot speak was safely reunited with his parents after he boarded a BRTS bus from Andhjan Mandal station and travelled towards Chandola. The child was traced with the help of CCTV surveillance and the Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) after BRTS staff were alerted about his disappearance.
Child Reported Missing From Andhjan Mandal Station
On September 9, 2026, BRTS ticketing staff at Andhjan Mandal station were informed that six-year-old Dhanush Jani was missing.
As the child could not speak, BRTS staff immediately informed the BRTS Control Centre (CCC) and shared his photograph with the relevant BRTS WhatsApp group to assist in the search.
The control centre also began monitoring CCTV footage from stations and routes in an effort to determine where the child had gone.
CCTV Shows Child Boarding Route No. 12 Bus
During the CCTV monitoring, staff spotted Dhanush boarding bus number CA23 operating on Route No. 12 towards Rabari Colony.
The BRTS team then used the bus’s Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) to track its movement. Staff at relevant BRTS stations were also alerted and asked to remain watchful.
Child Found Safe At Chandola Workshop
Continuous monitoring of the bus through CCTV and AVLS eventually led the BRTS team to the BRTS workshop near Chandola Lake.
Staff checked the location and found Dhanush safe. He was kept under their supervision before being handed over to his father, Mitul Jani.
The coordinated efforts of the control centre, CCTV monitoring team, AVLS operators and field staff helped locate the child and reunite him with his family.

After Dhanush was found safely, his father thanked the BRTS staff for their prompt response and coordinated efforts.
