Four-Year-Old Girl Found Dead In Dombivli Creek

Kalyan: The body of a four-year-old girl was found floating in the Mothagaon creek area of Dombivli, police said on Friday.

According to Vishnu Nagar police, the child lived with her parents and younger brother near the creek area, where her father works as a labourer at a construction site.

Police said the girl stepped out of her house around 8 pm on Thursday to play but did not return home. Worried family members began searching for her in the surrounding area. As the child frequently played near the Mothagaon creek, the family went there to look for her and found her body floating near the edge of the water, officials said.

Local residents were alerted, following which police were informed about the incident.

An investigating officer said that prima facie the case appeared to be an accidental drowning. However, police registered an Accidental Death Report and initiated a probe from all possible angles to rule out any foul play.
