The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the Delhi Police Central district successfully rescued two missing girls from Bihar.
According to a senior police official, the police team had launched sustained search operations to trace two missing minor girls in separate kidnapping cases registered at the Paharganj and Anand Parbat police stations, both in Central Delhi.
The first victim, a 13-year-old resident of Paharganj, had been reported missing/kidnapped as per the FIR registered on July 6.
The AHTU accordingly launched a comprehensive search operation, involving meticulous analysis of footage from around 65 CCTV cameras and extensive verification of nearly 140 orphanages, shelter homes, religious places and red-light areas to trace the missing minor girls.
Acting on local intelligence, the team conducted multiple search operations in Punjab and Bihar. Initially, there was no concrete lead, but eventually the police received information along with a mobile number linked to the victim.
When the mobile number placed under technical surveillance initially located the victim in Saharsa, Bihar, on July 22, the team rushed there. To their surprise the mobile phone’s location had shifted to Supaul by that time.
Coordinating with the local police of Supaul, the team, finally traced and recovered the minor girl.
In the second case, the 15-year-old victim, a resident of Anand Parbat, had been reported missing since December 9 last year.
During the probe, it was revealed that she had been seen at Benipatti, Madhubani, Bihar. Accordingly, the AHTU team immediately proceeded to that location. From there, she had been moved to Saharghat, where the police finally located her with the help of the local village chief.
The operation was carried out by Sub Inspector Raj Bahadur Singh, woman constable Manisha and constable Ashish Kumar of the AHTU, Central District, under the supervision of the inspector in-charge of the unit and ACP Sunil Kumar.
It is noteworthy that with the successful recovery of these two victims, the AHTU, has now traced and recovered 46 missing persons during the current year, DCP Central District, Rohit Rajbir Singh stated.
