However, his parents thought that he had gone to his friend's house. When he didn't return home till late afternoon, they got worried and started looking for him.
A cop from Ashok Nagar police station said, "A rickshaw driver spotted the boy, who was crying at the Majestic bus depot. He sensed something amiss and approached him."
The rickshaw driver then asked him his address and brought him to Ashok Nagar police station.
Even after Akshay was taken to the police station, it took him more than an hour to reveal his correct address. "He told us that he was a resident of Chikkaballapur.
