The crime branch of the Delhi police recovered a girl kidnapped from Burari and reunited her with her family.
A senior police official said that an FIR of her kidnapping was lodged in 2009. The official said, “When all possible efforts made to trace the girl went in vain, the police also declared a reward of `50,000 for information about the girl or the kidnapper.” The case was then entrusted to the crime branch which started the probe afresh. During investigation, it came to light that the girl was fond of wrestling and used to practice on the banks of the Yamuna. “We also found that she used to take anti-depressants and started searching her in hospitals in Delhi and other states. Finally, the girl was found admitted in Rajkiya Mahila Sharnalaya Bareilly, UP,” said additional commissioner of police (crime branch) Ravindra Yadav.
The crime branch then reunited the girl with her family.
