A nine-year-old Mumbai boy, who went missing five days ago after his tuition teacher told him to complete his homework, has been traced to Khandwa town in Madhya Pradesh, a police officer said on Wednesday.

The boy, a Std IV student, left his home in Santacruz on Saturday evening to attend his tuition class but did not return home, said the Vakola police station officer. His worried family members enquired with their relatives and the tuition teacher, who told them that she had told the boy to complete his homework and bring it back, he said.
