From Disappearance to Discovery: The Journey of a Missing Student

Diganth, a missing student from Mangaluru, was found in Udupi after fleeing due to exam pressure. Originally claiming abduction, Diganth confessed he left voluntarily. His travels across Karnataka included several modes of transport. The case remains under court jurisdiction, with further proceedings pending.

A missing student from Mangaluru, Diganth, resurfaced in Udupi after eluding family and authorities since February 25. The Dakshina Kannada police clarified at a recent press conference that, initially reported as abducted, Diganth had left voluntarily, feeling unprepared for his impending exams.

Diganth embarked on a journey with just Rs 500, walking and hitchhiking across various cities including Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Mysuru, and Bengaluru. His escapade led him to a resort in Nandi Hills for temporary work before eventually returning to Mysuru and heading to Udupi.

Out of funds, Diganth's attempt to purchase necessities caught the attention of shopkeepers who informed the police. He was subsequently placed in a children's home. His parents, pursuing a habeas corpus petition, await further legal proceedings, as the matter remains before the Karnataka High Court.
