Missing Class 2 girl’s body found in bag near home
Ghaziabad: The body of a seven-year-old girl, who had gone missing from her home in Kanchan Park in Loni, Ghaziabad, on Saturday (March 12), was found in a gunny bag dumped on a vacant plot of land on Sunday. The girl, who was a Class II student of a private school, had been missing from around 5pm on Saturday. Her body was found a short distance from her home around 9.30pm on Sunday.
The girl’s family members told TOI that they had launched a massive search operation with the help of locals and police to trace her in Loni.
“On Saturday her mother had sent her to a nearby grocery store to buy some rice. She brought the rice back home but took Rs 2 from her mother and ran outside to buy toffees for herself and did not return,” the girl’s father, Yaseen (32), told TOI.
Yaseen, a carpenter, was informed about the incident by his wife around 7pm.
“We made announcements over a public address system. On Saturday night we went to police and lodged a missing complaint. When she did not return even on Sunday, we used an autorickshaw to travel around the area and made announcements about my daughter over a loudspeaker. When we were at Loni police station around 9.30pm on Sunday, cops received a call saying that my daughter’s body has been found,” Yaseen said.
