Three young boys from Delhi, caught up in a celebrity dream, recently sparked a frantic search after disappearing from their homes on July 25. The minors, aged 13, 11, and 9, all attended the same school in Delhi’s Sadar Bazar area. Their families were left deeply worried when the boys vanished without a trace, prompting an immediate police investigation.
It turns out these boys were on a secret mission: they wanted to meet superstar Salman Khan. Their journey started not with a map, but through a gaming app. They had been talking to a man named Waheed, who lived in Maharashtra. Waheed convinced them he had personally met Salman Khan before. He promised the eager youngsters he could make their dream come true and arrange a meeting with the beloved actor. Believing his words, the boys hatched a plan to travel to Mumbai.
The puzzle began to piece together when police found a handwritten note at the home of one of the boys. This note laid bare their ambitious plan. It said they were heading to a place called Jalna to meet Waheed first, and then they would finally meet Salman Khan. CCTV footage from Ajmeri Gate confirmed their departure, showing them leaving the city. Based on this, police guessed the boys had boarded a train, likely bound for Maharashtra.
With Delhi Police and Maharashtra Police working together, the hunt was on. The investigation led them closer to Waheed. However, when Waheed realized the police were now involved in the situation, his plans quickly changed. He abruptly canceled the meeting with Salman Khan, clearly not wanting any trouble. This left the three boys stranded. They ended up getting off the train in Nashik. Thankfully, the police were able to locate them using their phones. All three boys were found safe and sound at Nashik Railway Station. They were unharmed and were quickly reunited with their relieved families.
