Driven by dreams of becoming an influencer and upset over restrictions imposed by his parents, a 14-year-old boy who left home earlier this month was traced from the Bengaluru Railway Station through Delhi Police's 'Operation Milap', an official said on Thursday.

The teenager disappeared from Burari on January 11 after a disagreement with his parents over his excessive mobile phone use, aspirations of becoming an influencer, and online gaming habits, police said. "After he went missing, his father approached the local police station with fears that his son might have been kidnapped. A case was registered, and a team was formed to trace the minor at the earliest, given his age and the potential risks involved," Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Raja Banthia said in a statement.
