Missing girl traced to Punjab, tells cops she was escaping from ‘molester’ uncle

NEWDELHI: A 16-year-old girl who had gone missing from outer Delhi, and traced to Dera Bassi city in Punjab, has told the police that she had left her home to escape molestation by her uncle, police said on Thursday.

Based on her complaint, the uncle — her maternal aunt’s husband — had been arrested, Rajendra Singh Sagar, additional DCP (outer), said. The police also arrested a neighbour with whom she had escaped.

The girl had gone missing on June 14, 20 days after her 14-year-old sister allegedly disappeared with an unknown person. While the younger one’s whereabouts remain unknown, the 16-year-old was traced by Delhi Police in Dera Bassi on Tuesday.

The police had begun searching for the missing girls after the girl’s aunt — her mother’s sister — approached the Kanjhawala police station to complain about their disappearance.

When the police began recording the statement of the rescued girl, the alleged molestation emerged and her uncle was arrested. The police also arrested Ram, who had allegedly lured the girl to Punjab.
