After couples from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Telangana, a couple from a village in Alwar has claimed that Geeta, who recently returned to India after spending a decade in Pakistan, was their daughter.
Geeta, a deaf and mute girl, is to be returned to her family. However, after Geeta failed to recognise a couple from Bihar that had claimed that she was their daughter, couples from different parts of the country have been claiming to be her parents.
On Friday, Mohammad Khan and his wife Hamidi of Saimla-Khurd village from Govindgarh Tehsil in Alwar district claimed that Geeta was his daughter, and approached the district administration after recognising her from her photographs printed in a newspaper.
According to the couple, in the year 2003 their eight-year-old daughter Hansira, who was also deaf and mute like Geeta, had disappeared from the village. The couple was in possession of certificates to support their claim.
While speaking to the Alwar Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Harbhan Meena, on Friday, the couple claimed that Geeta’s face bore resemblance to that of their daughter.
Mr Meena said to The Hindu , “A couple from Saimla-Khurd village met me and claimed that Geeta was their daughter. The couple had brought a copy of an FIR that was lodged when the girl went missing. We are now seeking report from Alwar Superintendent of Police (SP) on the investigations that the police might have done to track her.”
Mr Meena said that the district administration would decide whether to pursue the case based on the details received from the SP.
