Two minor students, Sonakshi and Jiya from Babarganj areas Warsaliganj and Maheshpur AliGanj in Bhagalpur, Bihar, disappeared on January 8. Twenty-three days in, local police remain clueless, igniting debates on investigative efficacy amid rising parental distress.
Kin have relentlessly pursued leads across police hierarchies—thana to top brass like SSP and DSP—met consistently with probes-in-progress claims minus outcomes. Ground-level stagnation exacerbates the crisis.
Sonakshi’s parents stormed IG Vivek Kumar’s office in Eastern Range, urging immediate action. Father Subodh Kumar’s media breakdown, tears flowing as he evoked his daughter’s absence, pierced hearts around. ‘No trace after all this time is unbearable agony,’ he voiced.
While DIG vouches for SIT-led inquiry promising results soon, history suggests caution. Families battle ominous fears, their world shattered. Beyond recovery, this saga probes police accountability in safeguarding minors. Resolution can’t wait any longer.
