Just hours after a 16-year-old mentally challenged girl went missing from a Vasai-based orphanage, she was traced to the local railway station – thanks to the owner of a hotel in the area, who circulated her picture on social media and shared it with friends to help a cop find her. Within 15 minutes, a friend contacted him and said that he had spotted the girl at the railway station. Soon after she was handed over to the local cops.
