From the day Kapoor entered the ashram, a team of its workers made a concerted effort to trace her relatives through police in Delhi, Haryana and by using the internet, the organization’s trustee Kisan Choure said.

After 21 days of continuous efforts, the ashram’s clinical psychologist succeeded in contacting Kapoor’s family after gathering information from her during the counselling sessions, he said.

The woman’s uncle and brother-in-law soon arrived in Mumbai and after a verification process at Goregaon police station, Kapoor was handed over to them, the official said.

Kapoor left for her home in Gurugram, Haryana on Monday after expressing her gratitude towards the staff at the organization.
