Meanwhile, the girl’s family has approached the district Collector, Superintendent of Police, Child Protection Cell and the Human Rights Commission, but that
has not yielded any result, rued the girl’s father Sanjay Kumar Sahoo.

Her family immediately lodged a complaint at the Tirtol police station. Taking clues from the family, police picked up a car driver in connection with the case but later let him off.
later, there was suspense when police recovered a closed box containing a woman’s dead body from the Dharatanga Gada forest near Raghunathpur. The police have been investigating the case and its possible connection with the missing girl incident, informed police sources.
