Mumbai: A 14-year-old boy went missing on Wednesday from a train while he was commuting, along with his grandmother, on the Vikhroli to Dombivli route. A kidnapping case has been registered at the Kurla railway police station and investigations have begun.

According to the police, the Vikhroli resident Arnav Dolas, who studies in 7th standard at Omkar International School in Manpada, Dombivli East, commutes daily from Vikhroli to Dombivli for school hours.
