The school informed the Bengaluru Police after an inquiry was filed about the child's whereabouts. 

The mother of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash had filed a petition seeking the custody of her grandchild, claiming that the child is "missing". However, the apex court rejected her plea, saying she was "virtually a stranger" to the child.
