Using Google Maps and just the name of a private school, Delhi Police reunited an 11-year-old boy, who had been missing for over a month from Punjab, with his family.
A team of the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU), comprising of head constable Pradeep and constable Jawed of the northeast Delhi police, found Abhijit crying in the corner of a childcare home while they were trying to locate another missing kid. The caretakers said that the boy was found on the streets.
After much cajoling, Abhijit told the cops the name of his school and that he was from Punjab. Police started searching for schools by that name in Punjab on Google Maps, using any bit of information the child could give them, like the geographical features he saw on the way to his school.
