A 12-year-old Indian boy who was kidnapped from New Delhi and taken to neighbouring Bangladesh six years ago finally returned home yesterday to be reunited with his parents. Sonu landed at Delhi airport escorted by security guards and officials and gripping his father Mehboob Begum's hand as his mother Mumtaz clutched him to her chest.
Mr Begum said: 'I have found my son and I am very happy now. I would like to thank (foreign minister) Sushma Swaraj.'
Local media reported that Sonu was abducted by a woman tenant living in his parent's Delhi house in 2010 and was then taken across the border into Bangaldesh where he was forced to work. A curious neighbour in Jessore became concerned and rescued Sonu from the hands of his abductor.
The Indian foreign affairs minister Mrs Swaraj said this week DNA samples taken from the boy matched those of his mother.
