The minor went missing on June 16 after she had gone to a market. In his complaint to police, her father, a resident of Aghapur village in Sector 41, said that his daughter had gone to purchase groceries from the local market on the evening of June 16, but did not return home.

The victim’s father said, “My daughter had gone to the nearby market but never returned home. We have been running from pillar to post and had registered a police complaint on that day itself. Police lodged an FIR but not much has been done to trace my daughter. We have searched for her everywhere and informed all our relatives and friends but have no clues about her whereabouts”.

Assistant commissioner of police-3, Saumya Singh said, “A probe is underway in the case. An FIR was lodged under Section 363 (kidnapping) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and we are trying to trace her at the earliest”.
