After being abandoned in a nullah soon after he was born, then undergoing life-saving surgery, little Tiger has undergone a lot in his four years. But now his troubles are over, as he will soon be flying home with his new parents to Italy. On Friday baby Tiger left Vishwa Balak Kendra in Nerul after being adopted. Also present on the occasion, were social activist Shivaji Ragade, who rescued him from the nullah, and his wife, Jayashree.

Ambernath resident Shalini Gaikwad heard a baby wail and followed the cries till she spotted a garbage bag in a nullah, around 5 pm on December 30, 2018. Worried, she called social activist Shivaji Ragade for help. Ragade, who happened to be nearby attending an event with his wife, Jayashree, arrived soon and took the bag out of the nullah. It held a newborn.
