Later on, she was found by police and sent to the Ashraya Family Home on September 17...," Ranvindra Yadav, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime branch), said.
Subsequently, a team was rushed to Ludhiana and police were able to trace her family and also the concerned police station has been intimated about the same.
