The caretakers of the orphanage were summoned and they informed police that a complaint has already been lodged at Kotturpuram police station about the missing boy. 

He was sent back to the home. Police said that he was under the care of a woman in Manali and since she was unable to take care of him, she admitted him at the home. However, the boy did not like to stay in the home and decided to leave the place. He escaped by climbing the wall in the wee hours of Saturday.
