More children go missing in Madhya Pradesh than in any other Indian state. The majority are Advasi. Despite chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s assurances that tracing missing children is a priority, police often do not file FIRs weeks after a child’s disappearance. When girls go missing a second or third time, FIRs are often not filed at all, as stereotypes about some communities hamper due process of law.

Dhar, Madhya Pradesh: For five months, Gattu Lal has had no idea where his daughter is. In 2021, he sent her away with a relative he thought he could trust. The 16-year-old went from Gugali, their village in the Nalchha tehsil of Madhya Pradesh’s (MP’s) south-western district of Dhar, to Indore’s Mhow tehsil, more than 65 km to the north-east, to work as a daily wage labourer.

One day he got a phone call that his daughter was missing from the work site. When more time passed, he lodged a first information report (FIR) at the Nalchha police station near his village. She was never found. 

“Pet paalan kaise karein? Isi liye bhej diya… (How do we feed ourselves? That’s why I sent her away),” said Gattu Lal, who belongs to the state’s Bhil community, a scheduled tribe with a literacy rate of just 42.2%, considerably lower than the nationwide average literacy rate for scheduled tribes of 59%.
