Another family from Uttar Pradesh has claimed that Geeta, the deaf-mute-girl who returned from Pakistan this week, is their long-lost daughter.
Bahul Singh, a resident of Uttra village in Atrauli tehsil here, has said that Geeta is his daughter Dolly and he is ready to undergo a DNA test to prove it.
He also said that Dolly went missing on November 11, 2000 and a case in this connection was registered at Barla police station.
“On the fateful day, the whole family had gone for a pilgrimage leaving Dolly behind and she, in a fit of rage, ran away from home and never returned,” Narendra said.
He further said that his parents had recognised Geeta as Dolly the moment they saw her on TV.
It may be recalled that earlier, a family from Pratapgarh district had claimed that Geeta is their daughter, Savita, who had gone missing from Bihar.
The family is also ready for a DNA test to establish their parentage. Geeta, who had identified as her family through photographs when she was in Karachi, has refused to recognize the same family when she met them in India.
Geeta, now 23, was reportedly just 7 or 8 years old when she was found sitting alone on the Samjhauta Express by the Pakistan Rangers 15 years ago at the Lahore railway station.
