Search for Her Family
Despite constant efforts by police, the unnamed girl could not be identified. So the officers named her Ehsas. Eventually, the police had to resort to the media in order to reach out to her parents. They placed advertisements in the newspapers with her picture. Whereas on one hand, the police were exploring all the avenues to identify her, on the other hand, they were also making plans on putting up the girl at the right place till someone comes forward to claim her. She was sent to juveniles.
Sign Of Improvements
Dr. Suresh Singh Dhapola, the founder, and president of special charity hospital where Ehsas was residing explained: “The girl has started showing signs of improvement but since she doesn’t communicate, it is difficult to understand her. The initial two days were difficult and she drank and ate on the floor, but she’s improving. Unfortunately, she was not given proper care earlier.” Not after many days in April 2017, someone came forward only to stir the pot once again.
Tricky Case
The police officers were calling it a tricky case and had not much hope of finding the girl’s family. There was another doubt if the girl had been abandoned by the family then why would they come now to take their girl back with them? Their all doubts got cleared when a couple stepped forward to claim the girl as their child.
Found?
The family residing in Jaunpur, in Uttar Pradesh, had lost all the hopes and it was then when the couple read news about the unidentified girl found in the forests of Bahraich which is 260 kilometers away from their residence. The picture of the girl had a striking resemblance to their missing daughter. And they headed straight towards the place where the girl was residing.
The Parents
“She’s my daughter. She went missing last year and we did everything to find her.” said Ramzan. Ramzan and Nazma Shah the pair claimed the girl to be their lost daughter. They also narrated the incident of how they lost their daughter Alizah. According to them, they were buying medicines in a crowded market when Alizah wandered away from their sight. They tried to find her but failed. After 24 hours of Alizah’s disappearance, they headed to the Mungra Badshahpur police station to lodge a missing complaint. But unfortunately, instead of receiving assurance from the police they experienced something really shocking.
Cold Hearted Treatment
They had gone to the police with a hope but returned disheartened and disappointed. They alleged that the policemen demanded a kickback from them to help them find their daughter. The father of seven children said the officers “even demanded money in exchange for help.” Naturally, it came as another blow for the poverty-stricken couple who had the daily earning of Rs150 (£2) a day and was already grappling with the trauma of losing their daughter. By now, they had realized that the law enforcers were not going to help them. Instead of cowing done in front of the situation they decided to fight back and came up with a perfect idea.
