This is when Jyoti abused her and put her hand on the burning stove. The girl's hand got burnt, which scared her and she decided to run away," said Sub-Inspector Dinkar Chandankar of Ghatkopar police station.

He added, "Meanwhile, Ajay and his wife lodged a missing person's complaint at Ghatkopar police station on Tuesday. A rickshaw driver brought her to Park Site police station.
