City cops help missing Delhi girl unite with family

BENGALURU: Ranjini Singh (name changed) was just 17 when she went missing from her home in New Delhi four years ago. Thanks to the initiative of the City’s Railway Protection Force (RPF), she was finally united with her parents at the Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna railway station on Friday evening. Her parents, who work as labourers, came down from New Delhi and she left with them.

RPF sources said, “The girl was found walking at the City railway station a few of days ago by Constable Somalatha and Sub Inspector Umesh Dhakad. They rescued her and took her to the BOSCO centre for children.” After enquiries, the staff there informed the Delhi police where her father had filed a missing person complaint four years ago.

“She had worked as a housemaid in Delhi for a year and took a train to Bengaluru. For the last two years, she was working as a full-time domestic help at a house on Race Course Road,” a cop said.
The employers did not allow her to step out of the house or contact her family, she told the cops. “She planned and escaped earlier this week and reached the railway station somehow where we found her,” cops added.
