Ahmedabad: Brakes were pressed on police’s four-day search operation for 12-year-old Vatva twins when it emerged that the boys had not endured any unpleasant fate and instead had taken a train to Mumbai for a bicycling adventure.Vatva police had sounded an alert after receiving a complaint that the twins had gone missing. However, CCTV analysis revealed that the twins, along with an 18-year-old, had travelled to Mumbai with their bicycles.Police said the occasion for the expedition was a birthday, although since the boys are currently too exhausted and nervous about questions, it is still unknown whose birthday was being celebrated.The saga ended when the boys were found at the Vadodara railway station and reunited with their parents.Vatva police inspector A A Vachheta said the twins left home without informing their family and moved through multiple railway stations with their bicycles.“They were unaware that they cannot transport cycles in the train compartments,” Vachheta said. The boys, however, managed to reach their destination without their cargo causing them any trouble. “Perhaps their love for cycling made them take the trip,” Vachheta said.The twins went missing on Sunday afternoon. A complaint was lodged at the Vatva police station and the surveillance team scoured through hours of CCTV footage.In time, police were able to map the route of the three boys. First, they were spotted at the Vatva railway station. Police surmised that they were headed in the direction of Mumbai.Photos were circulated on social media and shared with police stations and railway points along the route. Police teams examined footage across stations and major cities, reviewing and analysing an estimated 400 CCTV clips over four consecutive days.Investigators established that the boys got off the Vatva train at Bajwa (Vadodara), pedalled to the Vadodara railway station, and took another train to Mumbai.Police said they were subsequently sighted at the Mumbai railway station, and after a couple of days, they were spotted at the Vadodara railway station. Police found the three sleeping on the platform, with the bicycles still with them.
