The investigation into her disappearance took a surprising turn when police discovered that a neighborhood boy had also gone missing around the same time. The boy eventually confessed that he had taken the girl to her aunt’s house in a village near Surat. Faced with initial resistance from the locals, Pandey, along with the girl’s father and stepmother, managed to bring her back with the assistance of the Inspector General of Surat Police. The girl revealed that she had fled due to tensions with her stepmother.
