The parents of a 17-year-old boy who has been missing for nearly three months after visiting the Keli Kunj ashram of spiritual leader Premanand Govind Sharan in Vrindavan have staged a protest outside the premises, alleging that the ashram has not disclosed information about their son’s whereabouts. The teenager reportedly went to the ashram on July 3 and subsequently took “diksha”, after which his family says they have been unable to locate him. The parents’ concerns intensified following reports that a disciple at Keli Kunj allegedly died by suicide on September 25. The family has now sought answers about their son and has raised questions over whether the ashram authorities have information about where he is. The incident has drawn attention to the family’s prolonged search for the teenager and their demand for clarity regarding what happened after he visited the religious premises.

According to the family, the boy was 17 when he went to Keli Kunj in Vrindavan on July 3. His parents have said that he subsequently took “diksha”, a religious initiation, at the ashram. Since then, they have been trying to establish his whereabouts, but claim they have not received satisfactory information about where he is currently staying. With the teenager missing for around three months, his parents decided to protest outside the ashram premises. Their action reflects growing concern over the lack of information and their continued efforts to trace their son. The family has alleged that the ashram concealed his whereabouts, although such allegations would need to be established through an official investigation. The parents are seeking information that could help determine whether their son remains associated with the ashram or has moved elsewhere after taking religious initiation.

The family’s apprehension reportedly increased after a recent incident at Keli Kunj. Rajvir, a member of the boy’s family, said they became more concerned after learning that a disciple allegedly died by suicide at the premises on September 25. The reported death prompted the parents to question the circumstances surrounding their son’s disappearance and whether there could be any information at the ashram that had not been shared with them. The family’s protest followed their concerns over the reported suicide and their inability to locate the teenager for several weeks. However, the alleged suicide and the missing teenager’s case are separate matters unless an investigation establishes a connection between them. The family’s concerns, therefore, remain allegations and questions that would require clarification from the authorities and the ashram management.

The parents have maintained that their primary concern is to find their son and establish his current whereabouts. Their protest outside Keli Kunj has brought renewed attention to the case, with the family seeking answers from those associated with the premises. For parents of a missing minor, the prolonged absence of information can create considerable uncertainty, particularly when the child is believed to have entered a religious institution. The family has therefore questioned what happened after the teenager reportedly took “diksha” and whether the ashram has any information about his subsequent movements. Their allegations that his whereabouts were hidden remain unverified at this stage. Any determination about the teenager’s location, his decision to take religious initiation or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance would require evidence from the family, authorities and the ashram.

The case also raises broader questions about the responsibilities of religious institutions when minors become associated with them. A teenager who reportedly entered the ashram and took religious initiation has remained untraced from the perspective of his family, who say they have been searching for him since July 3. The parents’ protest indicates that they want the matter addressed and their son located rather than left without information. The reported death of a disciple on September 25 has added to their apprehension, according to Rajvir. However, there is currently no established evidence in the information provided that links the two incidents. Authorities would need to establish the facts surrounding both the teenager’s disappearance and the reported death independently.

The parents have continued to demand information about their 17-year-old son as the search enters its third month. Their protest outside Keli Kunj follows weeks of uncertainty and comes after the family learned about the September 25 incident involving a disciple. The allegations against the ashram regarding concealment of the teenager’s whereabouts remain claims made by the family and have not been established as fact. The immediate focus remains on determining where the teenager is and ensuring that his parents receive accurate information about his welfare. Further investigation and responses from the relevant authorities and Keli Kunj management will be important in clarifying what happened after the boy visited the ashram and reportedly took “diksha” on July 3.
