Continued from page 01 THE Nehru Nagar cops, however, had uploaded her details a month later on the Mumbai police website. Centralised data and proper coordination could have helped them crack the case in no time but that did not happen. Even as how Aartiu2019s case was probed over the past one year comes to the fore, it becomes clear that if the officers had followed the standard operating procedure ( SOP), then her fatheru2019s life could have at least been saved.

Time and again, the Nehru Nagar cops have said that they tried their best to locate the girl but the fact that they never came across the details of the girl put up by the GRP on Maharashtra policeu2019s website of Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System the same day her body was found on tracks, shows that they did not follow proper procedure. The cops have also claimed that the information was not circulated by the GRP. The GRP confirmed to mid- day that the accidental death report ( ADR) was shared with all the nearby police stations, including Nehru Nagar, on the day Aartiu2019s body was recovered.
