Cops visit Belapur play schools for info on 3-yr-old girl abandoned on Palm Beach road

“Chhakuli has not even been able to tell us her official name. She has told us that her father’s name is Subhash, but has not been able to tell us his surname. Atangale could be Surekha’s maiden name and hence we do not even have a full name to pursue. Over the past two days, we have visited every nursery school and children’s play home in and around the Belapur village with Chhakuli’s photograph to check if she attended any of these institutions, but in vain. We have now widened our search to Vashi and Mankhurd,” said Senior Police Inspector Vishnu Redkar, NRI police station.

Redkar added that they had also contacted cellular service providers for details of all customers with the names Surekha and Subhash in Belapur area.

“Chhakuli has only said that her mother fainted in the house, and her father took her to the doctor. We are making inquiries in various areas to trace Subhash, as he might be able to provide some clues about the murder,” Redkar added.
