Kendrapada: The 16-year-old girl, who was conferred the National Bravery Award this year, has been missing from her house at Nipania village under Jamboo marine police limits since Monday, The New Indian Express (TNIE) reported.

The family members of the girl alleged she was abducted by a youth who wanted to marry her, the report said.

The victim was student of Class X in a school near her village and had received the National Bravery Award along with another girl, Purnima Giri in January after they saved 12 persons from drowning in Mahanadi river.
