Uttar Pradesh: A woman who was on her way to the hospital on Friday for treatment, miraculously, spotted a man in a dishevelled state who went missing almost a decade ago. The woman after spotting the man with torn clothes, unkempt hair and beard, and a few injuries on his body, recognised him as her husband Motichand Verma (45) who went missing in 2013.
Devi claimed the man on the street was her husband
Janaki Devi (43) reunited with her husband outside Ballia District Hospital on Friday. Showing an old photograph, Devi claimed the man on the street was her husband. She also called her son and introduced him to his father. Soon after this, a few other relatives arrived there and met the man.
They also realised that he was Devi's husband and helped her in taking him home. "I got emotional when I suddenly saw my husband Motichand on the roadside. I just couldn't believe my eyes," Devi told reporters after reuniting with her husband.
Devi and Verma got married 21 years ago
The villagers said that Devi and Verma got married 21 years ago and have three sons. Verma went missing after his mental condition deteriorated. The family members tried a lot and kept searching for months but failed.
"I tried everything possible to find my husband, and even went to Nepal to look for him but in vain," Devi said. In a video of the incident that is doing rounds on social media, the woman can be seen in tears as she wipes the face of her husband and hugs him.
"These are tears of our happiness because I have found my deity after ten years," Devi said. An eyewitness called the couple's reunion a "divine miracle".
