The girl did not go back to her house after school time, owing to emotional distress caused after the school authorities confiscated her mobile phone.

It was George Joy, a resident of Nayarambalam who first spotted the girl near Goshree bridge in Vallarpadam on Tuesday night.

"It was around 11 pm when my friend and I were passing by the road that I spotted the girl," said George.

"We found it odd that a little girl was cycling through the road in the middle of the night, that too in her school uniform," he said.
