The girl, a resident of Thane, was reported missing on 1 November. She was spotted at a railway station in Mumbai.

Thane Police rescued a seven-year-old girl just 12 hours after she went missing, an official said on Saturday, 3 November.

The girl, a resident in Kalwa township of Thane, was reported missing on 1 November, when she was on her way to meet her mother for Diwali shopping, Senior Inspector Shekhar Bagde said.

The girl's family filed a police complaint later in the day and four teams were formed to trace her, he said.

She was spotted at the Kurla railway station in Mumbai with the help of CCTV footage.

By the time the Kalwa police reached Kurla, authorities had handed over the child to the Mankhurd Children's Home, the official said.

"We went to the children's home and united her with her family on Friday (2 November)," Mr Bagde said, adding that police officials also bought the child a set of clothes as a Diwali gift.
