A 27-year-old Assamese school teacher, Bhabana Sarma, who went missing after a distress call while travelling by cab from Tetelia to Azara on Friday, was found in Shillong on Saturday morning and handed over to Assam Police as inquiries continue. Her family said she had phoned them during the journey and told them, “I am in danger,” before her phone was switched off, prompting a missing person report at Jalukbari Police Station and a multi-agency search after her last known mobile location was traced near the Gauhati University area.
Superintendent of Police, East Khasi Hills district, Vivek Syiem, said police located Sarma at Polo Market in Shillong at around 8 am and traffic personnel brought her to Sadar Police Station. “She was found in Polo at 8 am by traffic personnel. She was sent for medical examination, and Guwahati police were informed,” he said.
Syiem added that Sarma was disoriented and currently unable to provide an account of what happened. “Only preliminary questioning has been conducted, but she is not able to say anything,” he said, limiting immediate progress in the probe.
Officials followed standard procedure by taking her first to the Civil Hospital for a medical examination before handing her over to Assam Police, who later transported her to Guwahati for further action. Meghalaya Police have informed Guwahati city police of the development. The circumstances surrounding Sarma’s disappearance and recovery remain unclear and are under investigation.
