Dipti Sarna, the 24-year-old >Snapdeal employee who went missing on Wednesday, has returned home.
Her father Narendra Sarna confirmed on Friday morning that Dipti had returned home but said he was overwhelmed by emotions and hence unable to share further details.
“She is completely safe I can tell you that much,” said Mr. Sarna.
Mr. Sarna thanked the Uttar Pradesh Police, the media and Dipti’s employers for their support.
Sources said she was in Panipat but how she reached there is being probed.
PTI adds:
On Wednesday, around 8.30 p.m., Deepti went missing after she was travelling in an auto she had hired from outside Vaishali Metro Station. According to the police, Deepti was on her way from Vaishali metro station to the old bus stand of Ghaziabad where her father, Narendra Sarna, a resident of Kavi Nagar, was waiting to pick her up.
Deepti’s father said that she called him up in the morning and told him that she was in train in Panipat and coming to Vaishali.
“She told me that she will come to Vaishali, but I asked her not to come to Vaishali and said I will come to New Delhi Railway Station to pick her. I don’t know how she came [managed to escape]. She was calling me up from the phone of her co-passenger in the train,” he told reporters here.
After she went missing, her father had told the police that when the auto crossed the Hindon river bridge on Wednesday’s evening, Deepti called him and gave him the location.
She was also heard shouting at the auto driver for taking a wrong route, he had said, adding thereafter her phone was switched off.
Police had soon swung into action and launched a manhunt to search the girl
