Technical, surveillance teams and special forces trying to locate her and officials say that her mobile phone was on for some time after she was kidnapped.
Speaking to CNN-News18, Judith's father Denzil said there's no clarification on where she is or anything. There were 3 of them - the driver, the guard and Judith.
"Her cell phone has been cut off. She has been in Afghanistan for a year. Next course of action is to wait and for the External Ministry and Mamata Banerjee to take action", he added.
