Nashik, Sep 20 (SocialNews.XYZ) An eight-month-old baby girl who went missing in Maharashtra's Nashik district three days back was found safe on Sunday, police said.
The infant, who had gone missing from the Manyad police outpost region in Nandgaon taluka of Nashik on September 17, was found abandoned near the Vaibothi village in neighbouring Yeola taluka.
