Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 10: Wholesale watch dealer Jitender Sharma's sons -- Kartik (13) and Dhruv (11) -- and Nepali servant Dheeraj Joshi (15), who had yesterday gone missing under mysterious circumstances from Nanak Nagar here, were today traced in Uttrakhand.
They made two phone calls today. The first call was made by the servant in the morning and the second by the two brothers at about 10.15 pm.
Police could find out their location on the basis of the code of the phone number from which the calls were made.
Police sources said the first call was made in the morning by Joshi who told the family that they had come to Uttrakhand to see the hill station. Replying to queries of the family members, he said all of them were safe and would be back to Jammu in a day, or two.
Soon after the call was received by the family, a police team from Gandhi Nagar police station was despatched to Uttrakhand. Sources said the team was most likely to reach there early Tuesday morning.
The second call was made by Kartik and Dhruv at about 10.15 pm. Their father Jitender Sharma said they spoke to their mother and told her that they were safe and had come to see Uttrakhand.
They also told their mother that it was too cold there and they needed warm clothes to protect themselves. The call was made from Mahamaya Hotel at Binmasa, Uttrakhand.
Sources said police immediately contacted the Uttrakhand police and brought the matter to their notice. The cops there searched for the boys and the Nepali but could not find them, the sources added.
The boys also told their mother that they had reached there by train and were at present on the border. Sources said the border could be the India's boundary with Nepal.
They had a few hundred rupees with them. They could be apprehended late tonight, or Tuesday morning when the Gandhi Nagar police station team reached there, the sources added.
Dheeraj of Nepal worked as a servant in the house of Jitender Sharma in sector 6 of Nanak Nagar for the past one year. Yesterday, he accompanied Kartik and Dhruv to their piece of land situated at a distance of about 100 yards from their house.
They left home at about 7 am but Sharma came to know at about 9.30 am that none of them had gone to the plot. He later brought the matter to the notice of Gandhi Nagar police station.
Sharma is a wholesale dealer of watches and owns a shop at Raghunath Bazar.
Earlier, a senior police officer said photographs of the servant and the two children had been flashed to all the police stations and outside the state also.
Both Kartik and Dhruv are students of SD Tarapuri School. While Karik studies in 6th class, Dhruv is a 4th standard student.
