Runaway Delhi girl reunited with kin after prompt action by auto driver in Maharashtra
Palghar (PTI): A 14-year-old girl, who ran away from her home in New Delhi after being pressured by her parents to focus on studies, was reunited with her family here in Maharashtra after an auto-rickshaw driver promptly alerted police, an official said on Sunday.
On Saturday morning, the auto-rickshaw driver, Raju Karwade (35), was waiting outside Vasai station here for passengers when the girl approached him and asked if she could get a room to stay in the area, Manickpur police station's senior inspector Bhausaheb K Aher said.
The driver, out of suspicion, checked the girl's identity card and enquired about her. The girl informed him that she was from New Delhi and had come here alone.
The three-wheeler driver immediately alerted a traffic cop and then took the girl to the Manickpur police station, the official said.
The girl told the police that she was from Pushp Vihar in New Delhi and ran away from her home on Friday as her mother was pressuring her to focus on studies, he said.
The police here contacted the Saket police station in Delhi, where a case on charges of kidnapping was already registered by the girl's parents.
Later, the police informed the girl's parents of her whereabouts.
The girl's parents then took a flight and reached Vasai where they were reunited with their daughter late Saturday evening, the official said.
The auto-rickshaw driver was later felicitated at the police station, he added.

BJP Kalkaji candidate Bidhuri attacks Atishi over surname, AAP calls party 'anti-women'
New Delhi, Jan 5: BJP's Kalkaji candidate Ramesh Bidhuri on Sunday courted yet another controversy, targetting this time Delhi Chief minister Atishi over her surname.
Speaking at BJP's 'Parivartan Rally' in Rohini that was later addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bidhuri said Atishi changed her surname from "Marlena" to "Singh".
Atishi, who is the sitting MLA from Kalkaji seat, dropped her surname a while back.
"This Marlena (surname used earlier by Atishi) became Singh, changed name. Kejriwal swore over his children not to go with the corrupt Congress, Marlena changed father. Earlier she was Marlena, now she has become Singh. This is their character," Bidhuri charged.
As the video of Bidhuri's speech showed up on the internet, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal lashed at the BJP saying its leaders crossed all the limits of "shamelessness."
"BJP leaders are hurling abuses at Delhi chief minister Atishi ji. Delhi people will not tolerate the insult of a woman chief minister. All the women in Delhi will take a revenge of this," he said in a post on X.
The AAP in a statement said Bidhuri's "abusive remarks" against a female chief minister exposed the BJP's "anti-women" mindset.
"If he behaves this way now, imagine the treatment ordinary women would face if he mistakenly becomes an MLA," said the ruling party in Delhi.
The party said Kejriwal's promise of Rs 2,100 monthly allowance for the city's women has rattled the BJP.
Delhi will teach the BJP and Ramesh Bidhuri a lesson by defeating him, the AAP asserted.
The elections for 70 member Delhi Assembly are due in February.
BJP नेता रमेश बिधूड़ी ने जिस तरह की भाषा का इस्तेमाल महिला मुख्यमंत्री आतिशी जी को लेकर किया है, वह उनकी मानसिकता को दिखाता है।

ये लोग महिला मुख्यमंत्री को लेकर ऐसी बातें कर सकते हैं तो अगर गलती से भी ये जीत गए तो आम महिलाओं के प्रति इनका क्या व्यवहार होगा।

This shameless individual is the blue eye boy of @narendramodi's ecosystem.
First, he insulted Priyanka Vadra; now he is abusing Atishi Ji.
