In a miraculous turn of events, a seven-year-old boy, who was kidnapped from Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh more than 30 years ago, has been reunited with his family, news agency PTI reported.

Now 38, Raju shared his ordeal, recounting that after being abducted in September 1993, he was handed over to a truck driver who took him to Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. "The kidnappers kept me in a room located in the middle of a barren area, where I was forced to take care of sheep and goats. Each night, I was chained and locked in the room," he said.
