As many as six minor girls escaped from a correctional home in the Govandi area of Mumbai, a police official told the PTI. A few hours later, two girls returned back willingly, he said.
The girls, in the 15-17 age group, had fled from the facility located on Sion-Trombay Road in the early hours of Sunday after breaking a window grill with stones, he added.
