Three minor girls, who had gone missing from Tilak Nagar area of West Delhi, were rescued within 24 hours from Amritsar, police said today.
According to police, the three girls, aged between 14 and 15 years, had fled to Amritsar due to fear of examination.
"During questioning, the girls revealed that due to fear of examination they had gone to Amritsar. No foul play has come to notice so far. However, further investigation is going on," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Ranvir Singh.
A resident of Tilak Nagar on Tuesday had filed a police complaint stating that his two daughters did not return from school. Police had received a similar complaint on the same day in which a person had reported that his minor daughter had gone missing from school, said police.
During investigation, police came to know that one of the missing girls had called her friend from a PCO in Amritsar. Subsequently, a police team was dispatched which, after extensive search, rescued the girls, said Singh.
