Family creates an app to locate missing AI staffer

NEW DELHI: Five months after Sulakshana Narula, a senior employee of Air India, went missing from her Pandara Road house, her family has created a mobile application that would help them locate her.
The app shows the contact number of her son and some of her other family members along with her photograph. Delhi Police had registered a case of abduction and transferred it to the Crime Branch. Police are inquiring into the role of some acquaintances of the family. Narula had left her phone at home before leaving.

Narula's son Anubhav, who has designed the app, has convinced the policemen probing the case to share it with the other cops so that they can keep track of the case. "I don't want to keep any stones unturned to look for my mother. The app doesn't occupy much memory space but I hope it helps us track down my mother," he said. A day after Narula went missing, a complaint was filed by the family at Tilak Marg police station. The Crime Branch took over the case on November 22, after which the usual locations which Narula usually visited were scanned. The family suspects that she might have been locked up in somewhere due to which it is difficult to track her down.

"Even the Crime Branch could not make much headway about her whereabouts. In fact two others cases were solved by them while they were looking for my mother," Anubhav told TOI. However, the distraught family hasn't given up hoping that the Crime Branch will be able to trace the mother.
