In July 2022, Junaid, son of Riyazuddin, a resident of Tarapuri, Lisadi Gate, left home to play and did not return. The family had lodged a missing person report at Lisadi Gate police station. When no trace of Junaid was found despite a lot of searching, the case was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU).
On 17 December, a red suitcase was lying in the bushes on the Ganganahar track in the Niwari area, which was being dragged by dogs. On the information of the villagers, the police opened the suitcase and found the body of a child in it. When the body could not be identified, the police shared pictures on social media.
