Missing Delhi Boys' Bollywood Adventure Ends Safely in Nashik

Three minor boys who disappeared from Delhi have been located safely in Nashik, Maharashtra. The trio, who left home on July 25, intended to meet Bollywood star Salman Khan after being encouraged by an acquaintance they met through online gaming.

The boys, aged 13, 11, and 9, were identified at a Nashik railway station. They had initially planned to travel to Mumbai, guided by false promises of a fan meeting. Their friend Wahid, based in Jalna, had claimed connections with the celebrity, but withdrew once aware of the situation's severity.

Authorities in Delhi, in coordination with the Railway Police and local enforcement in Maharashtra, tracked the minors using train routes and mobile activity. A handwritten note left behind indicated their travel plans, and CCTV footage confirmed they departed from New Delhi Railway Station.
