New Delhi: With the help of small clues like school name, parents identity, fathers profession, Delhi Police reunited more than 100 children (including 2 Divyang) with their parents. Police said that some of the parents had lost hope that their children will not be traced. A strong team of 13 policemen from the Anti Human Trafficking Unit (North-East district) brought smiles on the face of the parents and their children.

Revealing the stories behind the drive, an officer told Millennium Post that one of their head constables (HC) visited child home in Paharganj where he noticed that 13-year-old boy was weeping in the home. "HC Pradeep interacted with the kid but he was not ready to provide his address. After long persuasion, he took the name of the school in Punjab where he studies," the officer said. Later, Punjab police were contacted who told about the kid. "We were informed that a case of missing was registered with Punjab Police. The phone number of the complainant in the case was obtained and he was contacted," police said. The complainant told Delhi Police officials that prior to this, he received several phone calls from various persons claiming that they know about his child whereabouts and asked him to come with money. The complainant visited the spot with money but his child could not be traced. "We send a photo of his child and after satisfaction, complainant was reunited with the kid," police said.
