3 girls, missing from children’s home, rescued from Aligarh

Three girls aged 10, 12, and 13 missing from a school in Noida’s Sector 51 on Monday were rescued in Aligarh a day later after a local resident alerted police.

Police registered a case under Section 137(2) of the BNS and Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act against two helpers, but the girls had left on their own.

The girls, recently shifted from children’s homes in Aligarh, Ghaziabad and Amroha to a shelter home in Noida’s Sector 62, did not want to stay there and wanted to return to distant relatives.

The escape was planned by the youngest girl; they walked to Pari Chowk and took a bus to Aligarh, where they were noticed wandering and reported.
