Three minor girls from migrant worker families left their homes in Domalguda with luggage, triggering a police search after their families reported them missing on Sunday night.
The girls, identified as Shilpa Kumari, 17, and sisters Lata and Sneha, both 14, are from Chhattisgarh and have been living with their families in Farid Basti.
According to the police, the girls had arrived in Hyderabad with their parents around a month ago. Their parents, who work as labourers, had come to the city for employment.
