Two missing brothers found within two hours in Tivsa after Arvi police search

Arvi police traced two minor boys who had gone missing from their home within two hours. Both children were found in Tivsa, and police brought them back from there.

Meena Kisan Karpate, 35, who lives in Dattawadi in Arvi and works as a farm labourer, went to Arvi police station and reported that on November 13, 2026, at about 6 am, she had gone to work in the fields with her husband. She had left her two sons at home. The elder, Vansh Kisan Karpate, is 13, and the younger, Mayur Kisan Karpate, is 10.

When Meena returned home with her husband at about 3 pm, the children were not there. She asked a neighbour living opposite, Shobha Thakre, who said the two boys had been seen near the house until about 12 noon and that she had not seen them after that.

Meena and her husband then searched for the boys in Arvi town and the surrounding area but could not find them, and went to the police station. Meena said the children had gone off without telling anyone and could not be found despite the search. On her oral report, a case was registered at Arvi police station under crime number 880/2026 under Section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and an investigation began.

On the orders of senior officers, police immediately formed a search team. Within two hours, police learnt that the boys were in Tivsa. A police team took Meena and her husband along to Tivsa and took both minors into custody.

The operation was carried out on the directions of Superintendent of Police Saurabhkumar Agrawal, Additional Superintendent of Police Sadashiv Waghmare and in-charge Sub-Divisional Police Officer Sunil Mahadik. The search was carried out by Arvi police station's Assistant Police Inspector Malhari Talikote, Sub-Inspectors Mahesh Rathod and Pawan Sairise, Naik Police Constable Surendra Kande, Police Constable Manoj Asole and Police Constable Balaji Maske.
