According to police, the children were traced through confidential inputs, technical analysis, coordination with police units in other districts, surveillance of crowded places and monitoring of social media platforms.
The investigation revealed that 11 of the rescued girls had left home because of romantic relationships, while two girls had run away following family disputes. Three boys left home in the hope of visiting Mumbai, while another boy reportedly left because of mental stress caused by frequent domestic quarrels.
Police said 11 girls were allegedly lured away with false promises of marriage. Officials also observed that extensive use of social media and mobile phones, emotional manipulation and the attraction of a glamorous lifestyle contributed to several cases. In one instance, a 17-year-old girl was influenced by the virtual world and aspirations for a luxurious lifestyle. Another 17-year-old girl reportedly left home due to pressure related to her studies, while a 14-year-old boy ran away following repeated arguments with his parents.
