Finally, a British newspaper finds Gurinder's family
Was abandoned by his moher
WSN Network

LONDON/HOSHIARPUR: So, finally, the 11-year-old boy, Gurinder Singh, will be united with his family. Abandoned in Southall a few days ago and with doubts about his family, the media was agog with conflicting claims about where the boy hails from and what family he belongs to, but now a Punjabi family from Tanda Ram Sahai village in Hoshiarpur has proved beyond doubt that they indeed should be re-united with Gurinder.

A newspaper from Britain was able to clinch the issue rather than a lot of noise. Representatives of the newspaper met both the families last week - a Bihar family had also claimed his custody, saying Gurinder had been kidnapped in March 2005 - and then told the London police that they had found the Punjabi family's claim to be authentic.

Kuldip Singh from Tanda Ram Sahai had claimed to be the uncle of Gurinder.

He told the local police that Gurinder had been abandoned by his mother Deepinder Kaur, who lived separately from husband Mohinder Singh and had flown illegally to UK via Malaysia and France along with the boy.

Kuldip told representatives of the foreign press that Gurinder's right hand finger was bent and the boy had a scar on one cheek. He also handed them pictures, birth certificate and other documents.

Kuldip said he had received no intimation as yet, but was happy if Gurinder's identity had been established.
