Boy kidnapped from Delhi 7 years ago traced to Bangladesh - to return home


A kid went missing from Delhi seven years ago and has now been located in Bangladesh. He was six year old at the time (2009) and had been abducted by a woman who had rented a room at their house. After his disappearance, his parents registered an FIR with the local police, but failed to provide any details about the tenant's identity or her residence. The cops had closed the case, and the family, presuming the boy to be dead, moved on, but he was very much alive and has been traced.
The kid is now 13 years old and will be reunited with his family when he is flown home, thanks to the intervention of the external affairs ministry.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 30 June 2016.
The reunion has been made possible because of a good Samaritan in the form of a Bangladeshi mechanic. He had seen the small boy being ill-treated by the woman for whom he worked in a village near Dhaka. He talked to the boy and realized that he had been abducted from his home in Delhi. He, therefore, informed the authorities, traveled to Delhi and contacted the boy's parents.
They, in turn, approached a television channel as well as the cops and the matter was referred to the ministry of external affairs. The Bangladesh Embassy was provided with the details of the case, and the child was rescued by the police there and sent to a children's home in Jessore.
Once a DNA match was done, the authorities have arranged to bring him back and reunite with his family who had been observing a day of mourning on his birthdays every year since his disappearance.
