DNAs of Geeta, Bihar family do not match: MEA

November 20, 2015 08:10

Almost four weeks after Geeta, the speech and hearing impaired woman, returned to India from Pakistan, the ministry of external affairs has said her DNA sample did not match that of the family claiming her as their daughter.

"A family from Bihar, the Mahatos, had claimed Geeta as their daughter. But the DNA test turned out to be negative. She will continue to live in Indore where an institution for speech and hearing impaired children are looking after her," said Vikas Swarup, spokesperson for the external affairs ministry.
