Two teenage girls ran away from home in search of freedom from the tyrannies of schoolwork and studies. Two days later, the girls were traced to Goa, after their parents received a call from a man who told them they had approached him for a place to stay because they didn’t have money.

Officials from the Oshiwara police, where the missing complaint was registered, have gone to Goa with the parents to get the girls back. According to the police, the two 15-year-olds had left for their tuition classes in Andheri (West) on Monday even-ing.
