Meerut: Missing girl reaches home safely

Meerut, Feb 17: A 13-year-old daughter of a city- based businessman, who had been missing for the last two days has returned to her home safely, police said today.

The family of the girl had complained to police on February 15, suspecting she had been abducted after she didn't come home from school, they said.

According to police, the girl instead of going back to her home went to her maternal grandparent's house, who stay in Shastri Nagar area here.

"Based on the investigation done by a special police team it is clear that the girl was not abducted, she herself had gone to her grandparent's home," Meerut Senior Superintendent of Police D C Dubey said.

Later, the police was informed by the family that the girl was safe at her grandparent's home.

"The girl has reached home safely and is a little scared right now. The reason as to why she went there herself can only be revealed after police talks to her," Dubey said.

Yesterday, police had registered a case of abduction against unknown person after the girl was reported missing.
