After scanning CCTV cameras of the area, it was confirmed that there was no foul play in the death.
Earlier, a five-year-old girl, who was missing since Saturday, was found dead in a drain on Sunday. She is said to have drowned in the drain while playing with her siblings in the Akbarpur Majra area of outer-north Delhi. The incident occurred when she was on her way to visit her father, who was working in an agricultural field.
The police initially suspected it to be a case of kidnapping. However, on noticing the open drain, a search was carried out in the drain. The body of the girl was taken out from the drain and was transferred to a hospital which declared her dead.
