Abhay Mallia, an upcoming tennage playback singer of Orissa, who was missing since the last four days returned home in the wee hours today. The 15-year-old singer who had been reported missing from his home in the Kapileswar area this Tuesday was found at a cycle stand near the railway station here

People at the cycle stand recognised Abhay and informed his family who took home the boy who did not return after attending school on Tuesday, his brother Sanjay Mallia said today.

The boy said he had taken a train to Berhampur where he spent three days near the railway station and after spending all the money he was carrying he returned by train without a ticket. He also came to know that his family members were worried after TV channels telecast reports about his disappearance.

Mallia said the boy who will appear in the class X High School Certificate examination next year was finding it difficult to cope up with his studies as he was preoccupied with singing.

Abhay has so far lent his voice in four Oriya films and over 19 albums.
