A woman allegedly fled with her paramour after leaving her two young children alone on a passenger bus, triggering concern among fellow passengers and local authorities. The incident came to light after the children were found travelling unattended along with a handwritten note containing their grandfather’s contact details.
According to officials, the woman boarded the bus with the children but reportedly got off midway with another man, leaving the minors behind. Passengers later noticed that the children were alone and informed the bus staff.
During a check of the children’s belongings, a note was found carrying the phone number and address of their grandfather. Bus employees and police then contacted the family members, who later arrived to take custody of the children.
Police said the children appeared frightened but were safe. Authorities have started an inquiry into the incident and are trying to trace the woman to understand the circumstances under which the children were abandoned.
Family members reportedly told police that the woman had been missing since the incident and may have eloped with a man known to her. Officials are verifying the claims and recording statements from relatives and witnesses.
The incident sparked strong reactions among local residents and passengers, many expressing concern over the safety and emotional condition of the children. Police said appropriate legal action would be taken based on the findings of the investigation.
