Madikeri, June 18: A four-and-half year-old girl child, separated from its parents at Abbi falls, reunited with her parents with the help of police and local people.

The girl child came with its parents to Abbi falls at Madikeri. But it was separated from her parents and the photo and audio about the girl have gone viral in social media including WhatsApp. When Madikeri police were contacted, they told Varthabharati that the child was handed over to its parents.

On Sunday, a Mangaluru-based family came to the falls with the child and spent some time there before moving to other place. Out of six children of the family, three children sat in the rear seat of the car while coming. As a result, the family members did notice the separation of the child from their group while going, it is said.

The family which left Abbi falls travelled for almost one hour. While distributing the snacks to the children, the members noticed that the child is missing. Suddenly, they returned to the falls and took the child back home, said police.

Though the child was reunited with its parents within an hour, the photo and audio message is still being circulated in the social media.
