The lawyer boarded the Katni South station in Madhya Pradesh; however, only her bag reached the destination, containing a rakhi, a handkerchief, and gifts for children.
“Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel finally traced Archana Tiwari in Lakhimpur-Khiri town on the Indo-Nepal border after 12 days of intensive search,” said SP (Railways) Rahul Kumar Lodha.
The police are bringing her back to Bhopal, and her statement will be recorded to uncover the details of the incident, he added.
Tiwari’s family had earlier suspected she might be a victim of human trafficking and called for a CBI probe, but Lodha did not comment on this aspect.
Police reported that Tiwari, a 29-year-old practicing lawyer at the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, was also preparing for a civil judge examination.
She left for Katni on August 7 by the Narmada Express train but never arrived. Her family filed a missing person complaint at the Rani Kamalapati GRP police station in Bhopal.
Authorities searched for clues from Rani Kamalapati station to Itarsi and Katni, examining CCTV footage of stations and surrounding areas. Tiwari’s last known location was Itarsi station, after which her mobile phone was found switched off.
