A massive search that was going on a for a 12-year-old missing boy has finally come to an end. Parinav went missing from Bengaluru on Sunday and was found in Hyderabad’s Nampally area, three days later.
The boy, who loves pens and was often gifted expensive ones by his uncle, was seen trying to sell a Parker pen that he owned. “On Sunday, he was spotted behind the BMTC bus stop using the public toilet there. Later, after using the washroom, he tried to sell his Parker pen, which is costly, to a person for Rs 50 as he had no money with him. He is trying to survive by selling his belongings. We hope we can get him back home soon,” his father Sukesh told News18 before.
