A 16-year-old teenager escaped from Dongri Observation Home on Tuesday but was apprehended and brought back on the same day. The boy, who had been booked in a murder case in February, scaled the compound wall of the observation home and made his way to his residence in Kisan Nagar, Thane. He asserted that he sought to visit his mother, but the police suspect that he might have fled to fulfill his addiction.
“He hid from the security officials and fled away on Tuesday morning. As soon as we found out, two security officials reached his residence and on enquiring with his mother she confirmed his presence at home. We then informed the police who reached the spot and detained him and sent him back to the observation home on Tuesday evening itself,” said Rahul Kanthikar, superintendent of the observation home.
