Hyderabad: A five-year-old girl who went missing from Malkajgiri was found in Neredmet on Saturday. The girl claimed that two unidentified bikers dropped her in Neredmet and sped away.
According to police, the parents of the girl, who are residents of Malkajgiri, had a fight over petty issues a couple of days ago. After this, the girl went missing from their home. After searching in all possible places, they lodged a complaint with the police.

Upon enquiry, she told her name as Pinky but could not reveal details about her parents and residence. The devotees picked up the child and alerted the police.
