Madikeri: Hrithika, the girl who made an appeal to receive her dead mother’s mobile phone has finally received it.

Hrithika’s mother Prabha, a resident of Gummana Kolli in Kushalanagar, succumbed to COVID-19 on May 16 at the District COVID-19 Hospital in Madikeri.

Prabha’s mobile was missing when her body was handed over to her family.

Hrithika was saddened by the disappearance of her mother’s mobile phone, which had several photos of her with her mother.

She wrote a letter to the district administration requesting them to get her mother’s mobile. Three months later, she received a phone call from the Madikeri town police station informing her that her mother’s phone has been found.

The mobile phone was reportedly found near the warehouse of the Madikeri COVID-19 Hospital and was handed over to the police by the hospital’s staff.

Hrithika went to the police station with her grandfather TK Santosh on Thursday morning and received the mobile phone.

The SP was also present at the station and gave chocolates to Hrithika.
