Police also arrested the alleged accused, identified as Raktim Majumdar of Paschim Harina. The accused is now being brought before the appropriate court in Tripura after completion of legal formalities.
Missing Girl Traced to Bengaluru
The girl went missing from Sabroom in June. Her parents approached Sabroom police station on June 27 and lodged a complaint.
Police registered a case under Section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Officers immediately began efforts to trace the minor.
The investigation soon took a technology-driven route. Police used several digital tools to establish the movements and location of the minor and the accused.
These included NATGRID, Call Detail Records (CDR) and Location-Based Services. The information gathered through these sources helped investigators identify Bengaluru as the location of the missing minor and the alleged accused.
Special Team Travels to Bengaluru
After receiving approval from the police headquarters, Sabroom Police formed a special team. Sub-Inspector Ramani Debbarma led the team.
The officers travelled from Tripura to Bengaluru to continue the operation on the ground.
Sabroom Police also coordinated with Bengaluru City Police and Whitefield Police Station. The interstate cooperation proved crucial during the final stage of the investigation.
The team successfully located the minor in Bengaluru and rescued her safely. Police also arrested Raktim Majumdar in connection with the case.
Transit Warrant Secured
Following the arrest, the accused was produced before a court in Bengaluru Rural district on August 13.
The court issued a transit warrant for his production before the Sabroom court. Police then completed the required legal procedures.
On August 14, the Sabroom Police team returned to Tripura with the rescued minor and the accused.
The development brought the interstate search operation to a successful conclusion.
Technology Helps Track Missing Minor
The case highlights the growing role of technology in missing-person investigations.
Traditional investigation methods often require police teams to work across multiple jurisdictions. Digital tools can help investigators narrow down locations faster.
In this case, NATGRID, CDR and Location-Based Services helped investigators trace the minor and the accused to Bengaluru.
The operation also showed the importance of coordination between police forces in different states. Sabroom Police worked with Bengaluru City Police and Whitefield Police to complete the rescue.

He also asked people to contact emergency number 112 when necessary.
Officer-in-Charge of Sabroom Police Station Apu Das and Inspector Ramani Debbarma were also present during the media interaction.
Interstate Coordination Key to Rescue
The successful operation underlines the importance of rapid action in missing-child cases.
The minor was traced thousands of kilometres from Tripura. Sabroom Police then travelled to Bengaluru and completed the rescue with assistance from local police.
The case also demonstrates how technology can support police investigations across state boundaries.
For families facing a missing-child situation, police stressed the need for immediate reporting. Early action can help investigators begin digital and field-level tracking without delay.
The Sabroom operation ultimately resulted in the safe recovery of the minor from Bengaluru and the arrest of the alleged accused.
