Raipur: Police have solved the missing of five-year old Shaila Sahu, who had disappeared on Sunday from outside her home in Raipur. The incident was captured on CCTV, where Shaila appears to have left with a 10-year-old unknown boy on his bicycle.

According to the police, Ram Kumar Sahu, Shaila's father had married twice, and the young boy was her step-brother, and the son from Mr Sahu's first marriage.

The young boy claims that he wanted to play with this step-sister and which is why he asked her to come away to his home, where he lives with his mother. He claims he was unaware of the row caused by Shaila's absence.

On Sunday, Shaila was playing with her friends when she went missing. In the CCTV footage, her brother can be seen joining Shaila and her friends as they play, and then later leave with her on a bicycle.
