Bengaluru: A 15-year-old orphan girl, who went missing after she left Bengaluru and decided to walk 270 km to meet her grandparents in Kodagu was tracked by the police in eight days.

The girl left Bengaluru on the morning of August 21 and decided to walk 270 km to meet her grandparents in Kodagu.

She lost her way after walking for 20km and the police tracked her after analyzing the footage from 250 CCTV cameras.

It is said that the girl had lost her parents at a young age and was raised by maternal grandparents in Kodagu district, she was very close to them.

She then moved in with her relatives in 2020. She had expressed her wish to return to her grandparents as she was not happy living in Bengaluru. However, the elderly couple insisted on her stay in Bengaluru for her education.

The girl then decided to walk to Kodagu. As she was hungry and lost, she knocked on the door of a random house off Mysuru Road. A woman in the house took her in and fed her.

The girl had asked the woman not to inform police as they would send her back, the woman agreed. She stayed there for eight days.

Police began a door-to-door enquiry to locate the girl and the woman then came forward to inform the police that the girl was with her.

Police  counselled the girl to know whether she was harassed, but the girl denied and said that she has no problem in statying with the relatives but wanted to meet her grandparents.

The girl was taken to a rehabilitation centre near Nimhans and was later reunited with her grandparents. On September 5, they took her to Kodagu.
