Ram Bomjan—a 16-year-old boy described as “little Buddha” who was meditating in a forest at Ratanpuri in the southern district of Bara for the last ten months—has been reported as missing since Saturday morning.

Latest reports say Bomjan may have shifted to another location deep inside the forest away from hustle and bustle at the place where he was meditating since early last year.

Ram Lama, member secretary of the committee that manages hundreds of devotees who visit the Ratnapuri to have “darshan” of the young boy, said he did not have any idea where Bomjan may have left. He, however, dismissed reports saying that Bomjan may have been abducted.

“He has left along with one of his colleagues. He must have gone in search of a quieter place,” radio reports quoted Lama as saying.

Meanwhile, police in Bara district said they had launched a search to locate Mr. Bomjan.
