The girl had reportedly told the police that she had gone to Goa because her parents kept forcing her to get married to a relative, against her own wishes. She then switched off her cell phone and went to Goa.
The parents had filed a missing person's complaint at the Bhoiwada police and the latter was also informed of the student's whereabouts, reports the Times of India. The parents asked the family friend to put the student on call. The parents insisted and asked her to return home. She eventually returned to Mumbai and joined her family in Malad.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about an incident where a non-governmental organization based in Maharashtra’s Palghar district came to the rescue of a 42-year-old doctor from Haryana who helped her to reunite with her family after she was found in an injured state on a street in Mumbai. The police found Dr Karolina Kapoor with an infected head wound on a street in the Goregaon area of Mumbai on December 31, 2022, and admitted her to Jeevan Anand Sanstha’s Samarth Ashram in Palghar. From the day Kapoor entered the ashram, a team of its workers made a concerted effort to trace her relatives through police in Delhi, Haryana and by using the internet, the organization’s trustee Kisan Choure said. After 21 days of continuous efforts, the ashram’s clinical psychologist succeeded in contacting Kapoor’s family after gathering information from her during the counselling sessions.
