The body of a 10-year-old schoolgirl who had gone missing on Thursday morning after she was dropped off at her school in Medchal, an outer suburb of Hyderabad, was found in a lake in Dammaiguda on Friday morning, the police said.
The girl’s body was found after the police recovered CCTV footage that showed her walking out of the school and going towards the lake.
At 9 am on Thursday, the girl’s father dropped her off at school and left for work. According to the police, he received a call from his daughter’s class teacher asking why she had not come to school. Hearing this, the father told the police that he rushed back to school and began searching for his daughter, along with school authorities.
At 6 pm, a police complaint was lodged. The police used a dog squad but could not locate the girl.
On Friday, the girl’s family alleged that the police did not show them the body for identification and immediately rushed it to Gandhi Hospital for a post-mortem.
