New Delhi: Twelve-year-old Indian boy Sonu, who was kidnapped from Delhi six years ago and taken to Bangladesh, has been brought back home.
Indian Embassy officials took Sonu's custody in Bangladesh and brought him back to Delhi on Thursday. He is scheduled to meet External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj later in the day.
"Sonu, who was kidnapped from Delhi was found in a shelter home in Bangladesh. We matched the DNA with his mother. The test is positive," Swaraj had earlier tweeted.
As per reports, Sonu was staying at a child rehabilitation centre in Jessore.
He had gone missing from Delhi in 2010 and a man from Jessore recently contacted his family and gave details about the whereabouts of the boy.
A senior official of the Indian high commission in Dhaka then went to Jessore in May to meet Sonu on the directive of Minister Swaraj.
Details of how the boy had gone missing are not yet known.
