A senior official in the Indian High Commission in Dhaka is travelling to Jessore in southwestern Bangladesh to meet 12-year-old Sonu on the directive of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
"A First Secretary from @ihcdhaka is going to Jessore today to meet with Sonu," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.
Yesterday, Swaraj had said the MEA will resolve the issue soon.
