Pune District Collector Saurabh Rao made a team of four officers including a medical doctor to trace the girl. The search went for two days and on the third day, she was traced.

So documents including below poverty line card, ration card was prepared so that she could benefit such government schemes."
Vaishali's letter was written in Hindi which was dated May 20. It was two pages
"Adarniya Modiji Muje apni Beti samajke bacho, me badi hona chahati hu, muje padna ahai aur ek bahut badi police afsar bana chahati hu&hellip;agar aap kahenge to kyubi mere papa se paise nahi mangege&hellip;Aap muje mere kat ka jawab doge na.."
Vaishali's father Monish recalls, "Vaishali and my brother Pratap are the only ray of hope in my life. I came to Pune from Ahmednagar so that my daughter gets best education but due to drought there is no good opportunity. Two and half years ago my daughter was playing in school and she fainted. She was rushed to hospital and during her examination conducted by doctors we came to know that there is hole in her heart for which surgery is the only solution. We approached various social organisation, NGO's, politicians, social workers but they just made us run from pillar to post. One volunteer working with NGO in the area even demanded bribe from us or a particular percentage from us."
