Thanks to Google Maps, father finds 12-year-old missing daughter after 4 months

Google Maps can help one find a destination and everybody knows it, but could anyone believe that the app can help a father reunite with his missing daughter! This has happened already and a Delhi man with the help of the Google Map, could once again find and reunite with his 12-year-old daughter who was missing over four months ago.

Reportedly, the 12-year-girl, on the day of going missing, had taken an e-rickshaw near the Kirti Nagar furniture market and it was Holi on March 21. But the little girl did not want to get down from the rickshaw at the metro station and did not even answer the e-rickshaw driver as to where she wanted to go. At this, the rickshaw driver took her to the Kirti Nagar police station at 8.33 pm.

On being asked by the police, the girl could not remember where has she come from nor could she pronounce the name of her place correctly. She only told police that the name of her village is “Khurja” and her father’s name was Jeetan. On gaining this little information, police made the possible efforts at finding her home and parents, but they failed.

However, police did not let their hopes go off and kept looking for the actual whereabouts of the mentally-challenged girl. She was also being carried by police teams to Khurja village in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district but no one of her acquaintance could be found in the village. Meanwhile, the little girl remembers that her mother’s native place’s name is Sonbarsha and there is a place called Sakapar near her village.

This time police took assistance from Google Map and could trace that there are laces called Sonbarsha and Sakapar in Uttar Pradesh’s Siddharthnagar district. on reaching the village, police could find the girl's father Jeetan who is a native of Kurja village. Jeetan later told police that he only had brought her to Delhi for her treatment at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) but in Holi she went missing from his sister's place in Kirti Nagar.
