Five schoolgirls, who no doubt feared telling their parents that they had failed their mid-term exams, ended up worrying their families even more by running away. The girls, students of a south Mumbai school, were luckily traced in the weekend, and all of them are home safe.

Mid-term exam results had been declared by the school, and each of these girls had failed in two or three subjects, according to their teachers. As a search operation began, four of them were spotted at Kurla railway station by a former neighbour. The fifth girl returned home of her own accord.
