It's been more than six years since Saabra Shaikh's 10-year-old daughter Aatika went missing. On April 13, 2008, Aatika had gone out to answer the call of nature and never returned home. Her family members realising her absence, started looking for her. Not able to find her anywhere, they went to the police station to file a missing person's complaint.

According to a reply to an RTI plea filed by a CRY and Alliance for People's rights (APR), 4,086 children went missing in 2012 in Delhi. 5,004 children went missing in 2011 and 2,161 had gone missing in 2010 in Delhi. According to CRY, on an average 14 children go missing in the National Capital every day.
