The police team, which had gone to Goa in pursuit of a missing Plus Two student from the city, returned empty-handed on Tuesday.

The police had traced the boy, a student of a prominent city school, to Panaji in Goa two days ago. A follow-up investigation revealed that the boy had visited the office of a right wing Hindu outfit there.

Based on the finding, two police personnel along with the boy’s uncle had left for Goa in search of the boy but to no avail. The police have now sent an alert to all offices of the saffron outfit to report immediately if he turns up. “The boy nursed the ambition of becoming a politician. He used to speak out his dreams to his friends initially. However, he later stopped doing it,” they said. Meanwhile, the interrogation of the boy’s family members suggested that he had experienced no difficulties in the family.

The boy has been missing since January 4 after he left for school around 7 a.m. from his home at Edappally.
