New Delhi, Aug 3 (IBNS): While Salman Khan's latest film is creating waves of success across India and Pakistan, a real life Bajrangi Bhaijaan story has now arrested the attention of the Indian government as a speech-impaired woman has been stuck in Pakistan for over 14 years since she accidentally crossed over as a child.
The 23-year-old woman, who was given the name "Geeta" by a Pakistani social worker, crossed into Pakistani territory when she was nine.
According to reports, Personnel of the Punjab Rangers took her to a social welfare organisation called the Edhi Foundation in Lahore. She wassoon moved to a home in Karachi.
Taking note of the story, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has asked Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan to meet the girl and help her.
"I have asked Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Dr TCA Raghavan to go to Karachi with Mrs Raghavan and meet this girl," Swaraj tweeted.
The Pakistani Foundation has been trying to identify her hometown for years But the girl only recognises the Indian map.
Officials at her shelter believe she tries to say that her father is from Jharkhand and mother from Telangana.
