It seemed to be a scene straight out
of a Bollywood movie, but the only difference was that this was really a
tale of lost and found.
It was an emotional reunion of 26-year-old Jeet Bahadur, a Nepalese youth, with his family after about 16 years of separation on Sunday Aug 03,2014
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a key role in this reunion. Bahadur had got lost in India and Modi found him in Ahmedabad
Since then, he played the role of a guardian to him, looking after him and ensuring his education and well-being.
He also made the special effort of ensuring that Bahadur's family is located in Nepal and he is reunited with them.
Soon after arriving in the Nepal capital for a two-day visit, Modi handed over Bahadur to his mother Khagisara and brother Dasharath Sarumagar and younger sister.
Dasharath's wife and children were also present for the emotional reunion.
"How happy are you now? You should be happy after seeing your lost son after so many years," Modi asked Bahadur's mother during the reunion.
The grateful mother expressed thanks to Modi for looking after her son. The poor family, which lives in a slum colony of Nawaalparas district of Nepal, had concluded that Jeet Bahadur had got lost for ever after Dasharath failed to locate him about 16 years ago.
"He (Modi) looked after me like his younger brother ever since I came in contact with him at the age of about 8-10 years. I don't think even my mother would have done so much for me," said Jeet Bahadur
