Shillong, June 22: Bianchi K. Marak, who was reported missing on June 15 from Mendipathar, was handed over by her friend Karimur Sarkar and family to the police on Friday.
Bianchi was with Karimur when the missing incident was reported.
Activist Cherian Momin who was pursuing the case said the girl was found safe.
Earlier, an extensive search involving local authorities and family members was conducted.
According to initial reports, Bianchi was called to Mendipathar by Karimur, son of Muzapur Ali from Singimari, following which she “disappeared’, triggering concern within the community. Family members and law enforcement agencies conducted search across various locations in the region to locate her.
The case took a twist when Karimur, along with his family members, voluntarily handed over Bianchi to police at the Singimari police station. “Subsequent questioning revealed that Bianchi had been in the company of Karimur Sarkar during the time she was reported missing”, Cherian said.
