Kerala woman found at Bandra station gives cops the slip

PANAJI/KOCHI: Found abandoned at Bandra station, Aleena Hussain (22) went missing at Canacona station on Thursday, while she was being taken home by the Kerala police.
The Kerala police personnel were returning home with Aleena by Netravati Express on Wednesday, when she went missing. “She was last seen at Canacona station at 12.29am on Thursday by the station master.On seeing her alone, the station master questioned her and she replied that her father was waiting for her. She then walked out of the station. She is missing since then,” said an official from Canacona police station.
The train had reached Canacona at 12.27 am, where it stopped for two minutes. “Kerala police informed us that on learning that Aleena was missing, they got down at Karwar (24 minutes from Canacona) and took a taxi back to Goa and tried searching,” the police said.
When their efforts failed, the Kerala police contacted Canacona police around 8 am. “A police team from Canacona police station is searching for Aleena along with the Kerala police,” said inspector Rajesh Kumar of Canacona police.
On February 6, Aleena was found wandering at Bandra station. She was then lodged at Mumbai’s Bapnu Ghar, a charity home for women and children in Worli. After TOI reported her story, the Kerala government decided to extend a helping hand to Aleena and on Monday, sent two women police officials and a senior civil police officer to Mumbai to bring her home safely. The Kerala RPF, as well as the accompanying police, claim that “the girl had shown signs of mental depression and they were to seek a psychologist’s help in Kozhikode”.
