NEW DELHI: As part of its project to return missing children lodged in homes to their families, Delhi Police's crime branch has reunited a 17-year-old girl with her parents in Ludhiana.
Police said 'Operation Milap' was launched after a study revealed several children reported missing were lodged at children's homes in the capital. A team led by DCP Dinesh K Gupta came across the girl at the "Ashraya Family Home" in Bawana's Madanpur Dabas area. Police said the girl initially refused to talk to the cops but later broke down and told the police.
"The girl said her father worked as a stone-cutter in Ludhiana and also occasionally sold balloons at fairs in and around Delhi. Last September, she accompanied her father to a fair and when her father was busy, a boy named Rinku lured her away with sweets and kidnapped her. She said the man confined her at his home in Bawana for 10 days and raped her several times," a police officer said.
Police said she was taken to the children's home after she managed to escape from the man's house. On Friday, police officers informed the minor's parents and handed her over to them. Her parents have also been counselled by Child Welfare Committee officials.
