The girl has been identified as Sneha, a resident of Nangloi, Delhi.

Acting swiftly on the call, the police staff reached the spot Rishal Garden Kunwar Singh Nagar, Shahid Bhagat Singh Park, Budh Bazar immediately, where one woman caller met and narrated that while she was going towards market, she noticed that one baby girl was screaming for help.

"The caller handed over the lost baby girl to the police party. She was asked about her details and home address but she did not respond as she looked afraid and confused," the DCP said.

The police immediately swung into action and deployed patrolling vehicles with loud-speakers installed atop it.

"Announcements were made at every nook and corner of the deserted streets and all the beat staff were informed to get some clue about the family of the child," Sharma informed.
