Dt.30-03-2026 3 S.C.(POCSO) No.43 of 2025 left from home saying that she is going to college. On the same day at night complainant’s brother in law’s daughter made a phone call to PW1/complainant and said that the victim girl has not come home yet. The PW1/complainant searched for his daughter in surrounding and at his relatives house, but could not trace her out.
