According to statements from their parents, the children did not return home after school. No other leads have been found as of yet. The Bengaluru Police has registered a case and formed several teams to track them.

A report by Republic World said the parents visited the school to meet with the principal, but were denied entry by the security guard, who closed the gates on them. This led them to stage a protest outside the school on Wednesday.
