Two minor girls, who had gone missing from Akot town in Akola district in Maharashtra two days back, were today found in distraught condition at the city railway station, police said.
Railway Protection Force (RPF) Inspector Mukesh Anandkar noticed the two girls in the footage captured by the CCTV cameras installed at the station, following which they were brought to the police station.
The girls identified as Bhavika Gadge (12) and Khushi Kalpekar (10), told the police that they hailed from Akot in Akola district in Maharashtra, he said.
