“From Geeta to Gurpreet and now to Sonu! EAM @SushmaSwaraj welcomes the young boy Sonu home from Bangladesh,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.

 

Sonu arrived in Delhi earlier on Thursday on a flight from Bangladesh.

 

Now 12, Sonu, who was traced at Jessore in Bangladesh, was said to have gone missing from Delhi in 2010.

 

A senior official of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka went to Jessore in May to meet Sonu on the directive of Sushma Swaraj.
