After 12 days, Archana Tiwari, who vanished from a train in Madhya Pradesh, has been located. The Rani Kamalapati police GRP in Bhopal discovered Archana near the Nepal border in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. The team is now bringing Archana back to Bhopal for questioning, which will provide more details about the whole incident.

A police official revealed that Archana Tiwari, a lawyer aspiring to become a civil judge who went missing during a train journey almost two weeks ago, was found on Tuesday in the city of Lakhimpur Kheri, near the Nepal border. Traveling from Indore to Katni on the night of August 7-8 to celebrate the Raksha Bandhan festival, Tiwari didn't reach her destination and went missing.

SP (Railway) Rahul Kumar Lodha mentioned that after an intense 12-day search, the Government Railway Police (GRP) finally tracked down Archana Tiwari in the town of Lakhimpur Kheri on the India-Nepal border. He stated that the police are bringing Archana back to Bhopal, and after recording her statement, the details of the events will unfold.

According to the police, Archana, aged 29, was last located at Itarsi station. After that, her mobile phone switched off, and she was unreachable. Tiwari practiced law at the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court while also preparing for the civil judge examination.

Archana, who went missing from the Narmada Express train on August 7 while heading toward Katni, did not reach her destination. Her family subsequently filed a missing person report at the Rani Kamalapati GRP station in Bhopal.

The police searched from Rani Kamalapati station to Itarsi and Katni, examining clues and CCTV footage from stations and nearby areas. Lodha noted that Tiwari's last known location was at Itarsi station.
