The fate of the hospitalised 16-year-old, who was found locked in a Pandav Nagar flat filled with garbage, is unclear. It remains to be decided whether she will be sent to her mother, whom the neighbours have accused of confining her.
CWC to take a call
This, despite the girl saying that she stayed confined of her own will. The police have said they will wait for the Children’s Welfare Committee (CWC) to take a call. The girl and her mother are both said to be having psychological issues.

“A CWC team visited the girl at the hospital. Once her condition improves, the CWC and Delhi Legal Services Authority teams will re-visit and record her statement. They will decide based on her testimony and the circumstances,” said a senior police officer.
The girl’s father, meanwhile, has not approached the authorities for custody.
