The Government-run Sports Hostel gave a report to the Khordha Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on Friday that wonder boy Budhia Singh (14) left hostel for summer vacation from May 10.
“We don’t have any information on Budhia Singh. Some coaches of the sports hostel had gone to Budhia’s house at Salia Sahi. But we found no one there,” said hostel officials. The family members of marathoner Budhia can lodge a missing case if they want, they said.
Notably, the District Child Welfare Committee had sought a report from the Sports Directorate and Sports Hostel authorities asking them to furnish the same within three days as to under what circumstances Budhia went missing and what steps have been taken to locate him.
