The Chaurasiya family, which is originally from Bhedihari village in Parsa district, has been living in Tejarath Tole in Birgunj.

“We received a call at about 5 pm on Thursday that Amit was missing. The hostel inquired if was at home,” said Chaurasiya. 


The missing child has not made any contact with his family members so far. His friends have also expressed ignorance about his whereabouts. Chaurasiya complained that the school had not shown any interest to find the missing child. “They are only providing us lip service,” he said. “It is the responsibility of the hostel authority to take care of children staying at the hostel. We have found gross negligence on part of the hostel.”
