Jagruti, the four-and-a-half-year-old son of Jitendrabhai Vitthalbhai Adhia, who lives in Maninagar in Amreli, insisted on going to his father living with his uncle in nearby Ravinagar. Mother Aartiben sent her son to go there alone as her house was just a short distance away, but this child could never reach Ba. On the way, someone kidnapped him.

After all these years, the family did not expect the son to return. But a young man is awake and standing in front of the family. Praful Bhagwandas from Haryana has been searching for his parents in Gujarat for the last two years. He has been brought up for the last 24 years by foster parents who run a dairy business in Haryana. 24 years ago, a truck driver left the child at a dhaba and said that he was from Gujarat. After returning to two or three different homes, the child was finally raised by Bhagwandas. After the death of his foster parents two years ago, the young man came to Gujarat in search of his parents and made his video viral. Seeing the video, the 28-year-old man's face meets the Lohana family, the woman in the neighbourhood informed the family. So the young man was called to Amreli. There are similar marks on the body of this young man as on the body of the awakened. So the police have taken the blood samples of this young man and his parents and sent them for DNA test. The young man has now gone to Maharashtra after staying with the family for eight days. The youth, the Lohana family and the police are waiting for the DNA report. If the DNA report is matched, then after about two and a half decades, jagrat, who has become a young man from a innocent child, will get his family and home. What is the similarity between the young man and the awakened? { Jagrat had suffered injury marks on his forehead due to falling. This young man also has marks on his forehead. { There was a million on the stomach of the awakened, which is also on the stomach of this young man. { The young man's face meets the Lohana family. { This young man is as old as he should be now.

After the death of his foster parents in Haryana and the closure of the milk dairy, Praful came to Gujarat in search of his parents. Two years ago, I stayed in Surat and searched but could not find any trace. Two months ago, with the help of Porbandar's YouTuber, it has reached out to the Lohana family. At present, he speaks Hindi and Trutak Gujarati and works in a private job in Maharashtra with his foster father's relatives. (Photo: Jayesh Limbani)
