Sonu was found in a child rehabilitation centre in Jessore in Bangladesh and was handed over to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka three days back by the local authorities following a court order.
Immediately after arriving here, the boy, accompanied by his parents met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and thanked her for ensuring his return.
"From Geeta to Gurpreet, and now to Sonu! EAM @SushmaSwaraj welcomes the young boy Sonu home from Bangladesh," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted along with photograph of Swaraj welcoming Sonu.
"I have found my son and I am very happy now. I would like to thank Sushma Swaraj ji," Sonu's father Mehboob said.
Swaraj had personally instructed officials to reunite Sonu with his parents.
"Sonu, who was kidnapped from Delhi was found in a shelter home in Bangladesh. We matched the DNA with his mother. The test is positive," she had said on Tuesday.
