Dhenkanal: The reappearance of a three-year-old boy, 10 days after his disappearance, gave relief to his relatives at Totapada village near Deogaon in this district.
However it is still unknown where he had been for the last 10 days.
It was difficult for his relatives to identity the boy initially as he wore new clothes and also had sandalwood paste tilak on his forehead.
Bikash, son of Malati, was alleged to have been kidnapped by some Kanwariyas from his village.
Taking the missing of Malhar boy seriously, district legal service authority secretary Arun Kumar Pattanayak had even directed tehsildar Beranyendu Mohanty to investigate into the matter, and the police to locate the boy at the earliest.
