The Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up the Maharashtra police for its superficial probe in tracing a woman who went missing after she went to Rajasthan three months ago, leaving her baby behind.

A division bench of Justice Bharati Dangre and Justice Manjusha Deshpande directed the superintendent of police, Kolhapur, to coordinate with his counterpart in Rajasthan and ensure the woman is traced and roduced in court on June 20. The bench remarked that it was “unbelievable that police machinery of two states  were unable to trace a woman”.
