The External Affairs Ministry is trying to bring back an Indian boy from Jessore in Bangladesh, after he was said to have gone missing from Delhi in 2010.

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.

The Minister, in a tweet, said that — Sonu’s DNA will be matched with the couple claiming to be his parents and in case DNA test is positive, Sonu will be brought to India without delay.
