Watch | Indian woman lost in Pak expresses relief on finding family

Geeta, the deaf-mute Indian woman stuck in Pakistan for nearly 15 years, has identified her family back home. Sources at the ministry of external affairs said all formalities, including the confirmation of her Indian nationality, were completed for bringing her back to the country.

The woman apparently entered the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on a train from India almost 15 years ago. She was found by police and sent to a state-run shelter.

Her story evoked considerable media interest in India and Pakistan, especially after the release of Bollywood film Bajrangi Bhaijan which features Salman Khan overcoming all odds to take a deaf and mute girl back to her relatives in Pakistan.
