He knew nothing, where to go, what to do. He did not know anybody, nor did he understand the language,” Modi tweeted. “Guided by God, I started thinking about him. Gradually, he developed interest in studies and playing. He also learned Gujrati language,” he said. Modi said sometime back, he was able to locate Bahadur’s parents. “This was possible because he (Bahadur) has six toes,” he tweeted. “Thankfully, we were able to locate his parents. I am glad that tomorrow the parents would be reunited with their son,” the Prime Minister said. The tweets did not mention when and where Modi had met Jeet Bahadur first and what was Bahadur’s age then and now. PTI
