Woman from Bihar feared killed found alive in Odhav

AHMEDABAD: A woman from Bihar, who was believed to have been murdered by her husband, was found at NariSanrakshanGruh in Odhav. It was a great relief for Amita's husband Ravindra and father KishanMistry. In fact, Mistry had alleged that Ravindra had killed Amita.

An official of the women and child welfare department, Hasmukh Patel, said that they handed over Amita to her father who was called from Bihar to get her custody.

According to Patel, Amita and Ravindra had come to Gujarat by train for some social work. However, Amita got down at Ahmedabad railway station for fetching water and did not make it back into the train before it departed.

"She was found by railway police officials, who could not understand her language and handed her over to women protection home officials," added Patel. The language problem persisted at the women protection home and they also could not get the basic details of Amita. "We could only guess from her language that she could be from Bihar. We called a person from Bihar who tried to communicate with Amita. We also contacted a police officer from Bihar who helped us track the FIR lodged in connection with Amita," said Patel.

Officials of women protection home then contacted Bihar Police and came to know that in fact Amita's husband had been arrested by police in connection with her murder.

"With the help of Bihar Police, we tracked down Amita's father Kishan Mistry and informed her that his daughter is alive and is in Ahmedabad. At a programme organized today, we called Mistry and handed his daughter back to her," said Patel.
