The 15-year-old Govandi boy, who had run away from home on October 29 in an attempt to allegedly kill himself, was traced to Nepal thanks to a phone call he had made to his friend in Chembur from Kathmandu as he had run out of money. This call became the first concrete lead for police to find out his exact location in Nepal, which eventually led to the boy being detained in Nepal on Friday. He will be brought back to city by the police and his family. Sources said the boy wanted to do something for thrills, and hence had left his house. Cops suspect he got the idea while playing some online games similar to the Blue Whale game on darknet.
