Pune: ‘When he met his family, they were all in tears’

“I was sitting in the front yard of building as usual and some other workers were on their jobs. This man, whose face was covered, came on his bike… the boy was with him… he was speaking in Marathi. He then asked if he could leave the boy with me for 10 minutes. I said yes. The man then went towards the highway. Within moments, the boy started crying…,” said Jadhav.

Jadhav added, “…There was a number on the bag which the boy had on his back. We later came to know it was his father’s… When we told him the boy was with us… we could hear him burst into tears…He asked us to make a video call. When the boy saw his family members, he started crying again. I too had tears… I realised that the boy had been away from his family and would be reunited with them. The family and police came within minutes… they were all in tears when they met each other. I have done nothing… I just witnessed a beautiful moment.”
