After frantically searching for 2 hours, Karnataka cops rescue senior citizen, reunite her with family

Mysuru: In a humane gesture, after frantically searching for two hours, an 80-year-old woman who was abandoned in the cold near Giridarshini layout in Mysuru was rescued by three male cops and a female cop after the news new DCP R N Bindu Rani intervened.

She was reunited with her family by 2.30am.

ASI of Lashkar Mohalla Police station Anantha raje Urs, Head constable Mohammed Abu of Garuda patrolling vehicle-14 in Alanahalli police station limits, and ASI of Alanahalli police station Niranjan, Women Police Constable Renuka rescued Ellamma.

Though the cops Urs and Abu rushed to spot, after local samaritans called 112, Ellamma was not ready to go with them.

She was not even ready to have the food offered by cops. Due to a stray dog menace, samaritans and police were apprehensive about her safety on the street.

Moreover, since female cops were pressed for duty in Chamundi hill, getting a female cop was a tough task.

Contacting Alanahalli Police and the Police control room to get the woman cop didn't help. Finally when contacted DCP Bindu, she sent the ASI of Alanahalli Niranjan and later a female cop (by calling on special request as it was not her shift) Renuka by 12.40am. By that time Senior citizen's family was also traced and they found that she was from Lingambudi Palya. They could take her home by 12.50am only since a female cop could come. But Senior citizen was not ready to stay with either adopted son nor own son at Lingambudhi Palya. Cops rushed her to her granddaughter's place at Raghavendra layout and reunited with her and ensured she was safe at 2.28am.
