A 12-year-old British girl, Carmelita Lakdesha Paul, is reported missing while on a family holiday in Japan, according to multiple reports. Her family wakes up to find she is no longer at their accommodation and alerts authorities, prompting a search effort.
The search is taking place in and around Tokyo as the family and local responders work to locate her. Details reported across outlets describe her disappearance during sightseeing and frame the case as an active missing-person operation, with authorities treating it as urgent while information is gathered and searches are conducted. The accounts largely align on the basics: her age, nationality, location of the holiday, and that the search has been launched after she was found missing from the place her family was staying.
