A girl who had gone missing when she was just eight years old has now turned up and searching for her family. Kartike Sunil Patil, 22, has approached the Thane Child Protection Unit for help. Kartike was missing since 1998.

All she remembers now about her residential area is a pipeline. However, she said that her father's name is Sunil Patil and Anju is her mother. She also has three siblings — Sondya, Nilesh and Jyoti. She is also trying to track down her family through social networking sites and other means of communications.

Kartike, who works in a private firm in Thane has been staying in Badlapur with a friend. "I have searched a lot for my family members. I miss them so much that at times I cry.

I clearly remember my parents' faces."

Rajiv More, a police official from the Child Protection Unit, says, "In 1998, Kartike was found at Kalyan railway station and she was shifted to Bhiwandi remand home. After a year, she was sent to Sion's Manav Seva Sangh. Later, she was shifted to Chembur."

Madan Bhallal, senior PI, Child Protection Unit, says "The girl approached us and we are investigating her case. We are going around the slum areas in Thane with her photographs and at the same time checking the files from 1990 to 2006 to see if there are any things related to her family members or with her. Sooner or later we will get the girl reunited with her family."

If the girl's parents are known to anybody, they can contact on these numbers of Child Protection Unit: 9892336119/8108555644.
