A 16-year-old girl who went missing from her home in West Delhi on July 18 was initially presumed dead after her family identified a body found in Uttar Pradesh as hers. However, the Delhi Police, led by DCP Guriqbal Singh Sidhu, remained skeptical of the identification and continued their investigation. On August 12, they located the girl alive in Panchkula, Haryana, revealing that she had left home voluntarily amid personal issues, including a love story complicated by family objections. The parents' decision to identify the wrong body was based on a photograph, as they were unable to see the actual remains before cremation. The case underscores the importance of thorough investigation and verification in missing person cases, as police emphasized the need for scientific evidence before concluding identity. The girl has since been reunited with her family, and investigations are ongoing.
