November 28, 2021 3:30 pm Ludhiana, Punjab. Sitting on duty by the highway like every day, the security guard noticed a lady with a two-and-a-half-year-old girl on a scooter towards a rough road where there was neither any population nor any houses. The road led towards the jungle and empty plots. Everything seemed normal until the same lady returned alone from that road half an hour later. The security guard's mind was puzzled with questions—why did the lady take her child to such a place, leaving her alone there, and why was she returning alone from there? Despite initially suspecting foul play, the security guard walked in that direction to confirm. He had barely walked about 30,40 meters on the rough road when he saw marks of the child's feet on the ground, sending shivers down his spine. Finally, within half an hour, the child had disappeared. Had someone taken her from there, or had some major mishap occurred?
