The Delhi Police have solved a long-pending missing-person case after the minor was found in Bihar after eight years of sustained efforts, officials said on Sunday.
Delhi Police Recover Missing Minor Girl from Bihar
The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the Delhi Police’s Central District successfully located and rescued a minor girl who had been missing from Bihar. This operation concluded a long-standing case registered at the Anand Parbat police station.
Following a tip-off, the police team traveled to Kanpur to investigate a specific location. However, upon their arrival, they discovered that the girl had been moved shortly before they got there.
Undeterred, the police conducted a search operation in the surrounding area. With the help of local police, they were able to find and recover the missing girl from Patori.
Following the registration of the case, sustained efforts were made by the police to trace the missing girl and ascertain her whereabouts. Despite the extensive searches and multiple efforts undertaken over the years, the whereabouts of the missing girl could not initially be established. The AHTU team, however, continued to pursue available leads and kept working on the long-pending case. A few months ago, the team received a crucial secret input indicating that the missing girl might be present in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur. Acting promptly on the information, a dedicated team was constituted to trace and recover her.
The case dates back to October 14, 2018, when an FIR was registered at PS Anand Parbat in connection with the alleged missing and kidnapping of a minor girl, who was then 14 years old and a resident of the national capital’s Anand Parbat area. During the course of the investigation and search operations, the AHTU team examined footage from multiple CCTV cameras and conducted extensive searches at around 90 shelter homes for girls, 52 orphanages, religious places, and red-light areas across Delhi-NCR.
