Following a local dhaba owner’s video seeking help came to the fore, Pradeep’s whereabouts were traced to Rewari district in Haryana. According to sources, the boy had left his house in search of work. He boarded a truck to Raipur from Deobhog village on the Chhattisgarh border, reported The New Indian Express.
