Shillong: Two minor girls, who went missing from a high security BSF school here, were today found loitering at a railway station in New Delhi, officials said. The girls aged 10 and 8 year-old, both studying in 4th standard, did not return home on August 4 even as they attended all classes of the day.

“The missing girls have been found at Old Delhi Railway station and taken over by BSF representatives and are being brought back,” P K Dubey of BSF Meghalaya FTR told PTI.
