Gwalior woman goes missing with four children after husband scolds her over phone use

A woman in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior has left home with all four of her children, police said. The husband had scolded her for using her mobile phone, after which she allegedly left the house with the children. The incident took place on Company Bagh Road in the Morar police station area.

When there was no trace of his wife and children, the husband approached the police and filed a complaint. Police have registered a kidnapping case and are searching for the missing family.

Monu Maurya, a labourer living on Company Bagh Road, told police that when he returned home from work, his wife Neetu was on her mobile phone. Maurya himself admitted that he was drunk at the time and scolded her for using the phone. The two then argued, and he went out of the house.

When he returned a little later, his wife and the four children were not at home. Distressed by the family's sudden disappearance, Maurya searched for them in nearby areas. He also contacted relatives and acquaintances, but could get no information about them.

The missing children are three daughters and a son.

On Maurya's complaint, police registered a kidnapping case and began an investigation. They are gathering information from nearby areas and are also checking places where the woman and children could have gone.

Sandeep Bangre, City Superintendent of Police (CSP), Morar, said the case is under investigation and efforts are on to trace the woman and her four children. He said the actual reason for the woman's disappearance will become clear only when she and the children are found. Police said their first priority is to find the woman and all four children safely.
