In a testament to diligent policing, Delhi’s Crime Branch AHTU has safely brought home two missing children, quelling fears in their families and reinforcing public trust in law enforcement. The operations unfolded against the backdrop of routine family tensions amplified by modern distractions.
Reported missing from Ghazipur on November 24, 2025, the 13-year-old girl prompted an immediate AHTU takeover. Guided by ACP Suresh Kumar, Inspector Mukesh Kumar’s unit probed deeply: parents admitted scolding her over endless social media use, triggering her exit. Surveillance and community tips converged on Paharganj, securing her unharmed handover.
Joy echoed similarly in the February 24 Ranahola case of a 16-year-old boy. From a hardworking household—father toiling as a laborer, mother managing seven children—he lingered at a friend’s after neighborhood tuition. Inspector Manoj Dahiya’s team, including Head Constable Ajit and Constable Ashok Kumar, mapped his routine through family and friend networks, finding him in Shyam Vihar.
DCP Pankaj Kumar hailed the seamless teamwork. These recoveries highlight vulnerabilities in teen behavior, from online addictions to casual overstays. Families, overwhelmed with thanks, pledge vigilance, while police advocate for open dialogues to prevent such scares. Delhi’s guardians stand vigilant.
