The Tamil Nadu Government has transferred the investigation into the disappearance of a seven-year-old girl from Nadupattu village near Alampoondi, close to Gingee in Villupuram district, to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID).
The girl went missing in the early hours of October 12 after celebrating her birthday and sleeping at home with her parents. Despite an extensive search, her whereabouts remained unknown as the investigation entered its 10th day. Police formed eight special teams to trace the child. Investigators examined footage from three surveillance cameras and questioned people connected to more than 600 mobile phone call records obtained through tower data. More than 250 people identified as suspects or persons of interest were also questioned as part of the investigation.
However, the search had yielded no significant breakthrough by Wednesday, October 21.
With the investigation making little progress, the State Government ordered the case to be transferred to the CB-CID for further investigation.
Authorities are expected to continue efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the girl’s disappearance and trace her whereabouts.
