Parents seek Atul’s child custody
Atul’s father, Pawan Modi, have filed an FIR at the Vaini police station in Bihar’s Samastipur seeking recovery and custody of his two-year-old grandson. According to Nikita, the two-year-old is staying at her relative’s place in Faridabad.
As per a report by NDTV, the Supreme Court has taken cognizance of the case, demonstrating its seriousness. Notices have been sent to the DGPs of three states, including Uttar Pradesh, with a directive to recover the missing child and submit a report by January 7.
