10-year-old girl missing after scolded by father in Newtown

A 10-year-old girl, Mandira Kahar, has been missing from Newtown since September 28, following an altercation with her father, Haran Kahar. The incident began when Mandira was scolded and slapped by her father. Shortly afterward, she left the house and has not been seen since. The family filed a missing persons report with the Newtown Police on October 1, three days after her disappearance, sparking concerns over the delay in reporting.

Initial investigations revealed that Mandira was last seen in Jotinagar, Newtown, at a local fair that same evening. Witnesses reported spotting her with an unidentified young man, which has led the police to focus their search on locating this individual. The police have examined local CCTV footage and interviewed residents, showing them Mandira’s photo in an effort to gather more information. Despite these efforts, no solid leads have been uncovered so far.

To further aid in the search, the police have created a sketch of the young man seen with Mandira and distributed it throughout the area. They have also posted missing person posters and are actively using social media platforms to raise awareness about the case. A reward has been announced for anyone who can provide useful information that leads to Mandira's discovery.

There are growing concerns about why the family waited until October 1 to file the missing report, despite her being gone since September 28. Investigators are also looking into the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, including the argument with her father and the nature of her interactions with the unidentified man seen at the fair.

As the search continues, both the Newtown Police and the Bidhannagar detective branch have intensified their efforts to locate the missing girl. The police assure that all possible steps are being taken to bring her home safely.
