Unresolved missing children cases prompts NGO to take action in Ahmedabad
Updated: May 29th, 2025
A few years ago in Ahmedabad a significant increase in cases of missing girls prompted ‘Search My Child’, a non-profit organisation, to launch a major movement.
The NGO appealed to the state government to take the issue seriously and take appropriate action.
However, despite the rising number of missing children, the rate of solving these cases remains very low. In response, the NGO will once again begin work to ensure that efforts to locate missing children proceed in the right direction.
Sanjay Joshi, founder of Search My Child, said that in the coming days, meetings will be held with the parents of missing children, followed by an official representation to the Director General of Police Vikas Sahay in Gandhinagar. The demands will include having senior officers supervise the investigations and forming special teams to investigate certain cases.
Recently, a four-year-old girl was abducted from Law Garden last week. However, she was traced and safely rescued by the Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Wednesday.
Parents collaborated with ‘Search My Child’ in 2012, following the horrifying abduction of 11-year-old Vishwa Patel. In 2017, she was declared dead by the court under the law after CID (Crime) failed to trace her.
