Three Delhi Boys Run Away to Meet Salman Khan, Found in Nashik After Four-Day Search

New Delhi/Nashik 2025: In an unusual and alarming turn of events, three minor boys aged 9, 11, and 13 ran away from their homes in Delhi with the dream of meeting Bollywood actor Salman Khan. The children were found safe after four days at a railway station in Nashik, Maharashtra, following a coordinated effort by multiple police departments.

The boys reportedly left home on July 25 without informing their families, sparking panic and prompting the filing of missing person reports. During the early stages of the investigation, Delhi Police discovered a handwritten note at one of the boys' homes which hinted at their plan to travel to Jalna, Maharashtra, to meet a boy named Wahid.

According to reports, Wahid claimed to have met Salman Khan and promised to help the boys meet the actor. This led the minors to board a train from Ajmeri Gate railway station in Delhi, believed to be the Sachkhand Express, which connects Delhi to various destinations in Maharashtra.

After receiving the tip-off from the handwritten note and examining CCTV footage from the station, police began tracking the boys’ movements. However, upon learning that the police were involved, Wahid reportedly ceased communication. Abandoning their original plan to go to Jalna, the boys eventually got off the train in Nashik.

Their location was traced through joint efforts by the Delhi Police, Maharashtra Police, and the Railway Protection Force. A brief activity from Wahid’s phone also provided crucial leads. The children were found unharmed and in good health at the Nashik railway station on the fourth day of their disappearance.

Authorities are now working to reunite the boys with their families and are conducting further inquiries to determine the exact nature of Wahid’s involvement and whether any legal action needs to be taken.

The incident has raised serious concerns about child safety and online influence, as well as the lengths to which young fans may go to meet their idols. Police have urged parents to stay alert and aware of their children’s social interactions and internet activities.
