A 15-year-old girl boarded a wrong bus in Thane district and went to Jalgaon in north Maharashtra instead of going to her home in Palghar, but was reunited with her family four days later due to efforts by police and members of a few voluntary organisations.

Around five days back, the teenager, Rupani Phasale, a resident of Majivali village in Vasai tehsil of Palghar, had gone with her parents and relatives to Bhiwandi in Thane to work at a brick kiln. While returning home, she boarded a wrong bus and went to Parola in Jalgaon, an official of Mandavi police station in Vasai said.
