New Delhi: A young guy from Kerela finally united with his family After 17 years of painful separation.

The now 37-year-old Ajayan Bhasi, who departed for the UK as a 17-year-old teenager in search of a job made it back home safely on Sunday as he landed in Delhi after getting an emergency certificate issued in his favour from London’s High Commission.

The airport, argument and the Facebook post

It was 10th of July when activist advocate Deepa Joseph was waiting to receive her friend at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Soon, she heard a commotion and when she paid attention to it, she spotted a guy arguing with the airport staff near the cafeteria.

As per Deepa’s description, the staff was accusing the guy of stealing food and he was continuously denying the same. Seeing things intensify, Deepa decided to be the peacemaker as she cut in the airport staff and even paid them bills on behalf of the guy.

Later, when Deepa got to know that the guy has landed in the country using an emergency passport, she interrogated him and asked him a few questions so that she can help him out. However, the guy was unable to answer her property and was looking distressed.

“All he had on himself was a couple of dollars and an old mobile phone with no sim card,” said Deepa. She further revealed that she wanted to help him out but was unable to stay at the airport anymore as she had prior commitments.

However, She did click some pictures of the long-lost guy and uploaded them on her Facebook profile hoping that his family will see them and contact her or the police regarding the same.

To the guy’s good luck, his mother Shobha identified him from the pictures on the very same evening and immediately contacted the authorities about the same.

Mother-Son reunites after 17 years

Shobha told the officials that the guy in the pictures is her son with whom she separated 17 years ago after he left for the United Kingdom to seek a job in 2006.

On the same day, a police officer informed Deepa about the guy’s mother following which, the lawyer and her friend set out to track the location of the guy in Delhi and all thanks to their efforts, the long-lost guy finally reunited with his mother in Delhi after a gap of 17 years.

Speaking on her reunion with her son, his mother got emotional and told how she use to think she has lost him forever. “He left for the UK 17 years ago and use to call us very rarely”,  she added.
