Parents abandon 11-year-old at Goa airport, leave for Dubai

Vasco da Gama (Goa): He dreamt of flying to Dubai but 11-year-old Sameer Bagoda's parents abandoned him at the airport here, gave him Rs.500 and told him to head back to his hometown of Satara

A confused and scared Sameer was first noticed by security personnel outside the Dabolim airport with a small bag containing eatables and clothes.

When airport officials tried to speak to him, he appeared frozen, almost in shock, unable to give any personal details to his friendly interrogators.

It took a while to break the ice. That's when he revealed details like his name, how he landed there and the names of his family members.

"We know that he is from Satara, because he has repeatedly told us about some landmarks there," the officer said.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Lawrence D'Souza, who is in charge of the Vasco sub- division, said police had immediately contacted their counterparts in Satara but there had been no response.
