A kin of missing Bandita Bhoumik said, “After attending Saraswati Puja celebration they (Bandita and her friends) went to Madhusmita’s house. When I called Bandita at around 3 PM, I was informed that she was in Madhusmita’s residence. After that I asked her to return home soon. I came to know that both Bandita and Madhusmita were last seen travelling in a share taxi, but since then they are untraceable. There is something wrong, we have strong suspicion on 2 boys.”

A worried mother of missing Madhusmita said, “My daugher does not have a phone, but her friend (Bandita) does. I was informed by Bandita’s mother that her daughter’s phone was switched off, but was found online in Whatsapp. Soon I texted Bandita, she responded. But when I enquired as to where they were and asked them to return home, there was no response. Since then there is no contact.”
Meanwhile, the Noonmati Police have swung into action to trace the missing girl students.
