The mother of a minor girl, who was reported missing for the last nearly two months before being found, has refused to take her custody owing to her daughter's six-week pregnancy, prompting the Delhi High Court to send her to a shelter home.

A bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Shalinder Kaur directed the city police to take the girl to 'Nirmal Chhaya' shelter home in Hari Nagar in the national capital.
