Jonathan's reunion with his birth family

Here is a story of a little boy - Jonathan, who went missing years ago and was adopted by a Swedish family. Jonathan's desire to be reunited with his biological parents brought him back to India.

Last month when I went to the media to help us restore a child, first phone call I received was from a retired assistant commissioner of police (Mr. Lavakumar) in Bangalore and he gave me some clues that ended up being the accurate ones and we restored the child. This story of Jonathan is shared by the same police commissioner who was working then as a police officer and restored Jonathan back to his family.
