Nagpur: Four juveniles staying at the Government Children’s Observation Home at Patankar Square allegedly left the facility without informing the authorities in the early hours of Sunday, prompting Kapilnagar police to register a case.

According to the police, the incident occurred between 1 am and 1.30 am on August 30, 2026, at the government observation home’s security facility near Patankar Square under Kapilnagar police station limits.

The complainant, Vinod Ramraoji Igwe (57), a junior caretaker posted at the observation home, told police that the four children in conflict with law left the premises without informing anyone.
