“The child was identified as Damini. She was missing since Friday afternoon,” said a senior Delhi Police officer requesting anonymity.
According to the police, the child was last seen around 2.30pm on Friday with her two older sisters on their way to their maternal grandparents' home in Kaushik Enclave.
