The mother of another missing girl said, “I filed a written complaint at the police station on Tuesday morning. We are afraid that someone has kidnapped the girls. I did not get much help from the police.”
The local panchayat pradhan said, “I have repeatedly urged the police that the matter must be looked into. I will go and do so again.”
