Last year in India's capital, New Delhi, an average of 17 children went missing every day.

Many are never found, others go missing for several years. It's often unclear why the children go missing but social activists believe they could be part of a human trafficking network. Local police are now being urged to do more to curb the spiralling numbers children going missing.
