New Delhi : In 2018, a 17-year-old girl fought with her brother and left her home in northeast Delhi’s Gandhinagar. Despite her family’s efforts to locate her, she remained untraced. A complaint was filed, but she was not found. However, after seven years, police finally tracked her to Telangana and reunited her with her family. According to police, after leaving her home, she went to the Anand Vihar railway station. She had taken some cash out of her savings. She boarded a general compartment of a train headed to Hyderabad. “She didn’t know where she was going and eventually landed in Hyderabad. Soon, her money got over and she began wandering around the city in search of work,” an officer said. A woman running a tea stall noticed the gi rl’s distress and inquired about her situation. She then provided her shelter at the tea stall. “The girl assisted the woman at the tea stall for over three years,” the officer said. The girl often thought of returning home, but the fear of social stigma held her back. She later met a boy and got married in Hyderabad. Deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara) Prashant Priya Gautam recently formed a team under inspector Suren Sharma to investigate old cases in which people remained untraced. “The girl used to speak with her sister occasionally, but never revealed her whereabouts. While scanning the call detail records of her sister’s phone number, we found an unknown number with a location in Telangana. We sent our team to investigate and conduct a door-to-door search there. Eventually, we were able to find her,” the officer said. When the cops sent a photo of the girl to her parents, they were overjoyed.
