Chandigarh, September 19. Haryana Railway Police has once again proved its promptness and efficiency. Within just 50 hours of the sensational abduction of a 4-year-old girl from Gurgaon Railway Station, the police rescued the child safely from Pilibhit Railway Station in Uttar Pradesh and handed her over to her family. This operation is not only an example of swift action but also a perfect blend of technological surveillance and ground-level effort.
Sensitive Action of Railway Police: From Saving Lives to Strengthening Public Trust
On this occasion, Director General of Police, Haryana, Mr. Shatrujeet Kapur said that the functioning of Railway Police is not limited to discharging duties alone, but it is a living example of humanity and public service. Restoring the smile of an innocent child, reuniting missing children with their parents, or giving new hope to people standing on the edge of despair—these efforts are the strongest bonds that connect police with the public. He further said that the sensitivity and promptness of the Railway Police has not only saved lives but also deepened the sense of security in society, strengthening public trust and confidence in the police. This trust, he added, ultimately becomes the greatest strength for crime control and social peace.
The Incident: Abduction of the Innocent Child
On September 16, 2025, at Gurgaon Railway Station, an unknown accused drugged a man and, taking advantage of the situation, abducted his young daughter.
Police’s Swift Strategy
As soon as the information was received, Railway Superintendent of Police Mrs. Nitika Gehlot gave the matter top priority and immediately took charge of the action. Under her instructions, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Faridabad, Mr. Rajesh Kumar, supervised the formation of 18 raiding parties. Each team comprised three police personnel, cyber experts, and experienced officers skilled in analyzing CCTV footage.
Blend of Technology and Field Operations
Police scanned CCTV footage from Gurgaon to Anand Vihar Railway Station. Images of the suspect were widely circulated by the RPF and Railway Police. Considering the seriousness of the matter, some teams were also dispatched to Rajasthan (Kotputli, Alwar) and Uttar Pradesh (Bareilly, Pilibhit).
Operation Pilibhit: A Success Story
When the police team was searching at Pilibhit Railway Station, the accused realized the police activity. Under pressure, he abandoned the child there and fled the spot. The police immediately took the child into their protection and, after conducting a medical examination, handed her over to her family. The girl was absolutely safe. The family was overwhelmed with joy upon getting their missing child back and repeatedly thanked the police personnel.
Local Cooperation and Humanitarian Effort
The role of the technical surveillance team was crucial in this entire operation. In addition, taxi and auto drivers at Gurgaon Railway Station also actively assisted the police. This cooperation emerged as an excellent example of police-public partnership.
Recent Achievements of Railway Police
In just the past month, GRP Haryana has achieved several remarkable feats. Twenty-four innocent children, who were being illegally transported through trains, were rescued safely and reunited with their families. During the same period, 23 children separated on platforms and trains were traced and handed over to their families. In addition, 2 men and 9 women who had reached the railway tracks with the intention of committing suicide were saved and safely sent back to their homes.
Symbol of Public Trust
This operation by the Railway Police demonstrates that if sensitivity, technology, and teamwork are combined in the right direction, even the most difficult challenges can be overcome. The safe return of the child is not only a matter of relief for the family but also a living example of the police’s efficiency and commitment to public service.
