In a habeas corpus petition, the Odisha High Court on Wednesday issued notices to Odisha and Uttar Pradesh Governments with regard to the missing of a minor dalit girl from Pipili area in Puri district, who had been to Farrukhabad in UP on a pilgrimage in November last year.
Arraigning the Superintends of Police (SPs) of both Puri and Farrukhabad districts as respondents, the girl’s father in his petition has stated that his minor daughter went to a spiritual centre in UP last November along with two followers of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya.
“While the followers of the spiritual body returned back, his daughter did not”, the petitioner said adding that the police of both the States have not responded yet even as written complaints were made to each of them.
