According to the Government Railway Police (GRP), they left their homes in Patewa without informing their parents and boarded the Wainganga SF Express (Korba-Yesvanthpur) train from Raipur to Kacheguda on Thursday.

the Patewa police who booked a kidnapping cases and took up investigation. During the course of investigation, the Chhattisgarh police found the children had boarded a train to Hyderabad and contacted the police here.
On being alerted by their counter parts in Chhattisgarh, the GRP, Kacheguda, along with the Railway Protection Force rescued the children when they reached Kacheguda on Friday. Their parents were also informed.
