As there was no system for the rehabilitation of the disabled, the police handed her over to Shankarbaba Papalkar, the Director of Late Ambadaspant Vaidya Divyang Bewaras Balgruh in Vazzar, on the orders of the Child Welfare Committee. Shankarbaba accepted the responsibility of her rehabilitation and named her Mala and also gave his name as her father.
