TOI accessed the CCTV footage of cameras installed at India Gate which show the girl wearing a frock playing till 9.21pm. The girl, Jahnvi Ahuja, first appears on the cameras at 9.21.34 and is seen chasing toys. She appears again at 9.21.47, when the rotating cameras return to the place where she was playing, and then goes missing.
The family is inconsolable and the girl's mother has stopped eating. "Cops have promised us that we would get back our child, but I see no hope. It was a high security area and we never thought she would go missing from there," said the girl's uncle. A case has been lodged on a complaint by the child's father. The family has not received any ransom call and cops suspect she may have been lured away by a trafficker.
The girl, who goes to a playschool in west Delhi, lived with her family in Mohan Garden area in west Delhi. She had come to India Gate with her family, including two siblings.
In his statement, the girl's father said they reached India Gate around 9pm on Sunday. The three-year-old, his youngest daughter, was playing with a few other kids while the family sat a little distance away. The father claimed he kept an eye on her, but around 9.30pm could not find her.
The family searched for her in the nearby lawns but in vain. Cops were called around 11.30pm. "I am convinced that my child has been kidnapped. I did not even find the family with whose children she was playing with," said the father.
