“We are working on alternatives of rehabilitating the girl. We spoke with the coordinator of Manisha Mandir, an institution housing orphans in Gomti Nagar, for keeping the girl there. Qaiserbagh Police has been asked to investigate about the parents of the child on the basis of the information in the FIR”, he added.
