NEW DELHI: In a heart-wrenching incident that has sent shockwaves through the community of Shankar Vihar in Southwest Delhi, the lifeless body of an 8-year-old girl was discovered in an abandoned building on Tuesday afternoon.

The child had been reported missing by her parents the previous day, leading to an extensive search operation that culminated in the grim discovery.

The girl's parents, who reside in the servant quarters of the Shankar Vihar Military Station where the mother works as house-help, filed a missing person report with the local police late on Monday night after their daughter failed to return home.

The family, along with neighbors, had conducted their own search efforts before involving the authorities.
