Last week, after being missing for 9 years and 7 months, Pooja Gaud was reunited with her family in Mumbai. Pooja had only been seven years old when she mysteriously disappeared while on her way to school. In many ways, her case was a lost cause and almost everyone had lost hope, except one cop – Rajendra Bhosale. Bhosale, an expert in finding missing persons, kept looking for her even after he retired. It was his relentlessness that played a big role in Pooja’s return.

In this episode, Indian Express’ Mohamad Thaver and independent journalist Smita Nair join host Shashank Bhargava to tell the story of Pooja – how she went missing, how she was found, and Bhosale who refused to give up on her.
