Aadhaar OTP helps trace Bengaluru student missing for seven months

For more than seven months, there was little trace of the 18-year-old student who had disappeared from Bengaluru after telling her family she was heading to college.

The breakthrough came through an unlikely digital trail, an Aadhaar-linked OTP.

The second-year PUC student, who went missing from Vidyaranyapura on January 31, was traced earlier this week to a village in Kanakapura taluk, where she was found living with a man she had married, police said.
