NEW DELHI: Police have formed teams to trace the father of the three girls, who allegedly died of starvation in east Delhi's Mandawali, a senior officer said.

On July 24, the three girls aged two, four and eight were taken to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital by their mother and a family friend where they were declared brought dead.

The initial post-mortem report suggested that they died due to starvation.

Police had also got a re-examination done of the bodies from a medical board of the GTB Hospital and are awaiting its report.

The girls' father, a casual labourer, had left on the morning of July 24 for finding work and has not returned.
