Rescued: Tanu is now staying with her great-grandmother

Once she regained consciousness, she told officers that she lived in the village of Semri Gauru with her mum Renu Awasthi.

Neither she nor her mother had been seen in the village since August 20, and their house was locked. But Tamu said was taken away by an aunt and uncle who she did not recognise days earlier, and they had buried her in the field.

After the case was reported by local media Tanu’s great-grandmother Rajrani came forward and claimed Tanu’s mum, who was having problems with her husband, had left their house around a fortnight ago without telling anyone.

Police are continuing to search for her.

Tanu has now been discharged from hospital, and is living with Rajrani.
