Bihar parents disguise themselves as beggars, quit jobs, travel across states for months to find sons who vanished without a trace

An X post that is going viral claims that a couple from Bihar disguised themselves as beggars and spent months travelling across different cities in search of their two missing sons.

According to the post, the family had moved to Mundra in Gujarat in search of work and was living there with their two boys, 14-year-old Rahul and 11-year-old Arpit. On January 15, both children reportedly left home to play but did not return.

The parents allegedly searched nearby areas, contacted relatives and friends and approached the police, but initially failed to find any trace of the boys.

Parents reportedly leave jobs to search across states

Three months after the children disappeared, the couple reportedly began suspecting that their sons could have been taken by a beggar gang.

The viral post claims that the parents then left their jobs and began travelling while posing as beggars themselves. Their search allegedly took them through several states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.


The couple is said to have spent months moving through different streets and locations while trying to gather information about their sons.

According to the claim, they eventually received information that their elder son Rahul had links with a beggar gang.

Elder son reportedly traced in Bikaner

The parents allegedly followed the information to Bikaner in Rajasthan, where they were eventually able to locate Rahul.

However, the search for their younger son Arpit continued, according to the X post.

Around 15 days after Rahul was found, the parents reportedly received information that Arpit was in Howrah, West Bengal.

They then travelled to Howrah and, according to the viral account, managed to find their younger son as well.

Viral post says both boys were reunited with parents

The post claims that the months-long search finally ended when the couple was reunited with both sons.

According to the account, the parents had given up their jobs and normal lives while travelling across states in an effort to locate the children. Their decision to disguise themselves as beggars was described in the viral post as part of their attempt to move through different areas and search for clues without drawing attention.

The account has since circulated widely on X, with the story focusing on the lengths the parents allegedly went to in order to find their children.

However, the claims in the viral post, including the circumstances of the boys’ disappearance, the alleged involvement of a beggar gang and the details of how the children were traced, have not been independently verified from the information provided.
