On being questioned on her whereabouts, the women didn’t respond to cops. Following which, cops decided to take her to Mayo Hospital using Patrol Van.
At the hospital the woman identified herself as Uma and informed doctors that she lives near Lalganj Zade Chowk. Acting swiftly on the information, cops launched a search for Uma’s family. It is when they came across Uma’s mother Meera Laxman Dhakate. Meera told cops that her daughter is mentally unstable. As Uma was pregnant, Meera took her to her Lalganj based house. However, on Wednesday morning, Uma sneaked out of the house and came across the cops.
The role played by the city cops is being appreciated in police circles.
