Police trying to get satellite images to trace Jahnvi’s abductors

The Delhi Police is now trying to procure advance satellite imagery of the area around India Gate to identify the abductors of Jahnvi, the three-year-old girl who had gone missing from the high-security zone on 28 September and was found in west Delhi on Sunday.
The CCTV footage of the area has so far not been of much use for the police as far as identifying the abductors are concerned. The last visual is of around 9:21 pm where the girl is seen playing alone in the India Gate lawns. However, who took her from there in a car was not captured in any of the CCTV. ‘We have written to an international company which provides images captured by satellites.
We have asked them whether they can provide us satellite images of India Gate at that time of kidnapping,’ said Additional Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) SBS Tyagi. He also said that they will also contact Indian Space Research Organisation and the India Meteorological Department for satellite images in this regard.
Police investigation has hit a roadblock after it came to fore that the girl could not reveal much about abductors’ identity. ‘The only thing she says is that she had gone with her mom’, said Tyagi.
Further persuasion by her parents has revealed that she was taken away from India Gate by a couple in a car.
‘She did not speak much, we could only understand that there was a couple who spoke to her,
identified themselves as her parents,’ said Sheetal Ahuja, Jahnvi’s mother.
