Telangana girl travels 33 hours in free bus to escape hostel return

Free travel for women in RTC buses in Telangana came in handy for this 12-year-old girl to venture out on a travel binge. The motivation for this, however, was the disinclination of the girl to go back to the hostel from her grandparents place.

The young girl’s outing came an end at last in the wee hours of Friday, when police teams located her in Jubilee bus station in Hyderabad, bringing down curtains on a 33-hour drama with the anxious parents and worried police teams searching



for her.

Her grandfather accompanied her upto the bus station and after ensuring that she got onto a bus at 11 am and sent details of the bus to her father Kanukuntla Narsimham, who is an ex-serviceman, hailing from Utoor village of Manakondur mandal and was living in Karimnagar.

The girl, apparently was not interested to go back to the hostel and she got down at Bommakal crossroads on Karimnagar outskirts instead of Mancherial chowk where her father was waiting.
