According to officers, 11-year-old Sanam and his nine-year-old brother Aryan had gone missing while playing outside their house. Their family members had launched a search but failed to trace them, after which they had filed a complaint in Surajpur police station.

He used to live with Aryan inside the factory premises, while his wife and elder son Sanam had come from Mainpuri a month ago.

We checked the main gate but it was locked from inside. We checked the CCTV footage and found them jumping over the boundary wall, which would be about three-four feet high,” he said.

Police said that they scanned the CCTV footage of nearby areas and found the children were last seen walking towards Pari Chowk in Greater Noida.

We have shared their pictures with neighbouring police stations, railway stations and bus stop coordinators. We are trying to recover them,” he said.
