It is further contended by the Additional Public Prosecutor that again on 24.7.2006 the petitioner lodged complaint with the respondent no.2 about missing of her daughter Nilima and therefore, the police department once again started investigation and taken following steps, viz : 1. gave wireless message to the Police Stations located in the City of Nagpur as well as Nagpur Rural, 2. search operations were carried out even at Chandrapur, 3 her photograph was published in the Newspapers and other effective steps are being taken by the police department to apprehend the missing girl and the investigation is in progress.
