A teenage Kashmiri girl who was missing since 15 February has been traced by the Bagh-e-Bahu police station of Jammu on Wednesday morning, said police.
The girl was found from the house of a local lady who had kept the girl at her home for five days.
Station House Officer (SHO) of Bagh-e-Bahu police station Sunil Kumar Sharma said, “We traced her after five days through the call logs of her parents. She had run from the home after her parents rebuked her. She had contacted a lady who knows her and was at her home,” he said, adding, “Police is questioning the girl about the matter.”
“But, we will take strict action against her parents who circulated on social media that she was abducted by the mob after violent protests in Jammu,” Kumar said.
The girl, a resident of Budgam district who was currently residing at Jammu in a rented apartment in Bagh-e-Bahu area of Jammu was missing since Friday.
