Three schoolgirls, who were reported missing from Tiruvannamalai, were rescued by a special team of the District Police at Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus at Kilambakkam near Tambaram on Wednesday.

The police said based on a tip-off, a special police team led by Superintendent of Police (SP) R. Uthayakumar and Rahul B. Gopal, Assistant SP, rescued three girls at the terminus around 2 a.m.

The three girls - A. Mahalakshmi, 15, A. Maheshwari, 14, and R. Nithya, 13, had left their house after their parents scolded them for not going to school for nearly a month. Together, they had saved ₹1,500. With the available money, they left for Chennai where they reportedly visited Marina Beach and other tourist spots before returning to the bus terminus in Kilambakkam to board a bus to Tiruvannamalai.
