Family’s Fear of Murder Overturned as Son Returns Alive from Noida

The Yadav family of Lalpur village in Samastipur endured years of grief after their son, Ravishankar, disappeared in 2022. Believing he had been abducted and possibly killed, they lodged a FIR that resulted in three arrests. In a startling development, the missing youth resurfaced in Noida. Representatives of the previously charged suspects located him, brought him safely to Rosda police station, and handed him over to his family on a Sunday afternoon. The police station bustled with onlookers, and a brief uproar broke out when the news spread that the presumed dead teenager was alive. Now, the accused argue that they were framed, demanding the filing of a complaint against the person who lodged the original FIR. Authorities have announced that a formal statement will be taken under Section 164, followed by a legal inquiry.
