Three girls injured in bid to escape from shelter home

A minor girl is missing and three others were injured -- all aged 16 to 17 years -- after they tried to escape from a shelter home here, the city police said on Saturday.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Romil Baaniya said one of the girls was being treated at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Trauma Centre while two of them were sent back to the shelter home from the hospital. 

The officer said that the four girls tried to escape from the shelter home in south Delhi late on Friday by scaling the walls with the help of a 'dupatta' and sustained injuries in the process. 

"Three girls were traced and admitted to AIIMS Trauma Center while one of them is still missing," he said. - IANS
