Malda cops help Nepal boy return home
Malda: A 14-year-old boy from Nepal, missing for 11 days, was reunited with his family on Wednesday, thanks to the efforts of Malda Police. The boy, deaf and speech-impaired, was found on June 2 in Gourhanda village under Chanchal PS.
Since he was unable to communicate, cops sought help from special educator Suhana Parveen. After counselling, she managed to learn his name — Sashi Yadav — and a partial address — Khutta.
Constable Ajoy Oraon, with SI Kajal Das and officer Biplab Mondal used Google Maps to locate multiple places named Khutta across India. Eventually, they zeroed in on a village by the same name in Nepal.
Oraon contacted Nepal-based NGO Ragam Apaht Anrak, which confirmed the boy's identity as Sashi Yadav from Khutta, Loharpatti Nagarpalika, Madhesh Pradesh. His family recognised him via video call.
On Wednesday, Sashi's mother Bibha Devi arrived at Chanchal PS. After verification of documents and CWC Malda's approval, the boy was handed over to her.
