The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) assisted in reuniting a six-year-old boy with his family in Mandawali area here, nearly two weeks after he went missing. On August 9, Raju (name changed) reportedly reached his school a few minutes late, due to which he was denied permission to enter his class. At the end of the day, Raju's sister, who also studies in the same school, was unable to find him in the premises, after which she narrated the ordeal to her family. The family then tried to search for him in the surrounding areas but were unable to trace the minor.

Raju's parents then contacted the Mahila Panchayat center of the DCW, following which the commission's coordinator accompanied his parents to the police station and helped in lodging a complaint. Perturbed by the delay in tracing the boy, the Mahila Panchayat gathered some women from the surrounding areas and demonstrated before the police station. The child's picture was also sent to all nearby railway stations and other authorities.
