Similarly, Shah said that a driver had provided the information that they had reached Pokhara from Kalipul and the sisters were headed for India. According to the police, despite the search operation being underway, the whereabouts of the missing girls could not be ascertained till Thursday morning.  As the sisters could reach Raxaul to go to India, a search is being conducted in that area.

The girls studying in India were enrolled in Balmandir Basic School in Kalipul only two weeks ago. Myagdi police are also coordinating with the police posts in the border areas to search for the missing girls.
