Geeta, a deaf-mute Indian woman living in Pakistan after accidentally crossing the border more than a decade back, will be back in India soon.
"Geeta will be back in India soon. We have located her family. She will be handed over to the family only after the DNA test," External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said today.
According to sources, Geeta has identified her father, step-mother and siblings from a photograph sent to her by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The family reportedly lives in Bihar.
