Gopalpuram cops turn Santa; reunite lost girl with her mother

In what can be called a perfect ‘Christmas miracle’, a mother-daughter duo got separated and reunited in a matter of hours on Sunday. What’s more, the Gopalapuram PS cops played

Santa

and gave their story a happy ending. It all began when Naseema, a daily wage labourer, was on her way home from work along with her two daughters. While waiting for the bus on the crowded street near Gopalapuram, Naseema suddenly realised that her 14-year-old daughter, Asmail was missing.

A few moments later, constable Surjit Singh from Mahankali

station, found the little girl crying inconsolably at the bus stop and took her to the Gopalapuram Police station. “The girl was crying non-stop and we could not get her to speak about who she was or where she came from. She just wanted her

mother

back. So we sent our constable to the bus stop where they found her to see if they could find her mother,” shares Saidulu, sub-inspector at Gopalapuram Police Station.

When the constable set out towards the bus stop, he saw this lady crying near Alpha hotel. She was sitting on the pavement and sobbing. He thought she might be the mother of the girl who had come to our police station. It turned out his hunch was right. He brought the lady to the police station and found out that she was indeed the mother of the missing daughter. Just like that, the mother and daughter were reunited.

“It all happened so quickly. We didn’t even register an FIR. Before we could do so, our team brought back the mother and the two of them were reunited. We cannot claim credit for this reunion, because we hardly had to work for this. This was the work of God,” Saidulu added.
