“She is not a number, you know? She is a person, in flesh and blood,” Radha, 70, said. She was talking about her granddaughter Divya, who has been missing for the past two months.
Divya, 17, lost her mother when she was two and her father at 12. She can’t hear or speak and has a 75 percent intellectual disability. “She can make some sounds to communicate her needs to us,” said Radha, with whom Divya had been living for the past five years in Seelampur, Delhi.
