After mistakenly straying into Pakistan nearly 15 years ago, the 23-year-old deaf and mute Indian girl Geetha finally stepped in India. However, Geetha failed to recognize her father (Janardhan Mahato) family in person which she recognized in photographs earlier. Officials are conducting a DNA test on Geetha’s family and until then Geetha will be kept in a shelter home in Indore.
Geetha was 8 years old when she got down from the Samjhauta Express and trespassed into Pakistan. She was adopted by Edhi Foundation’s Bilquees Edhi and lived with him in Karachi since then. On her arrival, Geetha met the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who announced Rs. 1 crore cash reward to Edhi Foundation.
Geetha would be handed over to her biological family after the DNA test establishes conclusive proof of Geetha’s parents. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s High Commissioner in India expressed hope that India would release the Pakistan prisoners as a goodwill gesture. Geetha’s story is said to be the main inspiration behind Salman Khan’s blockbuster hit film, Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
