Modi welcomed Judith to India and thanked Afghan President Ashraf Ghani for extending cooperation towards her release. "Would like to thank the Govt. of Afghanistan, especially President @ashrafghani for their cooperation in bringing Judith home," the Prime Minister tweeted after meeting her.
The 40-year-old, who works for the Aga Khan Foundaton as a senior technical adviser, was abducted from outside her office in the heart of Kabul on June 9. D&rsquo;Souza, accompanied by Indian Ambassador in Afghanistan Manpreet Vohra, arrived at the Indira Gandhi International Airport at around 6 PM from where she was driven straight to Swaraj&rsquo;s residence.
A visibly emotional Swaraj embraced her warmly, saying 'the daugther has returned home'. Later, the External Affairs Minister accompanied Judith to meet Modi. The External Affairs Ministry was in constant touch with Afghan authorities to ensure the safe release of Judith, who hails from Kolkata.
It was not immediately known who D'Souza's captors and how she was rescued. She was abducted along with two other people.
