Digital trails, social profiles: New police strategy to find 34 missing girls

With 34 minor girls reported missing this year still untraced, Lucknow Police has decided to undertake a detailed review of each case by examining the family background, social circumstances and digital footprints of the children in an effort to generate fresh leads and identify possible common patterns behind the disappearances.

The move comes after the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court pulled up the city police over missing minor girls and ordered close monitoring of investigations in such cases.
