Cop's fake hospital photo strategy cracks minor's missing case
He clicked and sent a photo of her mother in hospital, creating a fake drama. The tactic worked as the girl immediately decided to return from Pune, where she went with her boyfriend in mid-July.
The girl reportedly eloped with a minor boy, leading to a kidnapping case at Nandgaon Peth police station, Amravati District. After meeting in Nagpur, the minor girl and her friend went to Wardha, Shegaon, Goa, and Bhusawal before reaching Pune in search of odd jobs.
The investigation hit a wall as the girl's phone was switched off, and the boy was using her Instagram account to communicate.
Faced with delays in obtaining digital information through Cyber Cell, head constable More devised a creative plan. He collaborated with a private hospital, explaining the urgency of the situation. To tug at the girl's emotions, the hospital staff staged a scene with the girl's mother in a hospital bed, appearing seriously ill.
