Senior PI KC Pasalkar said, told the leading daily, “The girl fled from her home twice, but her mother always managed to bring her back. She has a boyfriend, and she fled again in June, telling her mother that she was going to class. We have been searching for her ever since and suddenly spotted her in the viral video.
