A woman police constable attached to Goregaon police station traced the parents of a six-year-old boy who had been separated from his family late on Saturday night. Using CCTV footage, she launched a search operation and successfully reunited the child with his family by Sunday afternoon. According to police sources, the boy is a resident of Bhagat Singh Nagar No. 2. His family lives on the footpath and earns a livelihood through daily wage labour.

“He overheard someone talking about a fair in Azad Maidan, about a kilometre away, and decided to visit it on his own without informing his family. Curious and unaware of the distance, the boy wandered off and eventually lost his way. In the early morning hours of Sunday, a police patrolling team found him crying and alone near Azad Maidan,” said a source from the Goregaon police station.
