An eleven-year-old boy, who had been missing from his village in Chandigarh for nearly four months, was found at a shelter home in Lajpat Nagar in Delhi and reunited with his family, police said on Monday.
A South Delhi police team found the boy had been at the shelter home since July 8, they said.
"Initially, the boy was unable to remember his address but after we counselled him, he told the name of his village Paddupur, Majra, Chandigarh," Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur said.
A police team was sent to Chandigarh and his photograph was shared with the local police, he said.
They showed the photo to the pradhan of his village who confirmed he had gone missing four months ago, police said.
The boy's father identified him and he was handed over to his parents, they added.
