Berhampur: An 18-year-old girl from Daringbadi area in Odisha`s Kandhamal district was rescued from New Delhi`s Nihal Vihar recently, police said on Thursday.

The girl from Ugadinga village was working as a domestic help in a house when the police located her on Saturday.

"The girl was united with her parents on Tuesday," said Inspector In-Charge (IIC) of Daringibadi police station JK Hial.

The girl was missing for the last six months and her father had lodged an FIR on January 8 after all their searches proved futile. Acting on a tip-off, a police team was sent to New Delhi, police sources said.
