Missing Bengaluru Student Located After Seven Months Via Aadhaar Data
An 18-year-old student who disappeared from Bengaluru in January has been found by police after seven months. Authorities successfully traced her location using an Aadhaar-linked one-time password (OTP).
An 18-year-old student, who had been missing from Bengaluru since January, was located by police earlier this week. The young woman, a second-year pre-university course (PUC) student, had been the subject of a search for more than seven months.
According to police reports, the breakthrough in the case occurred when the student triggered an Aadhaar-linked one-time password (OTP). This digital footprint allowed investigators to pinpoint her current location. While the report confirms the student has been traced, it does not provide specific details regarding her whereabouts during the seven-month period or the circumstances surrounding her initial disappearance. The investigation into the case remains ongoing as authorities process the information gathered from the recovery.
