India has stated that Geeta will be allowed to be adopted only after a DNA test is conducted of the couple she believes is her parents. The MEA has also selected two organisations, working with special people, which can host Geeta in case the DNA test fails to prove her ties with the family from Bihar. Geeta's brother and brother-in-law are at the airport to greet her. Both Pakistani and Indian officials are at the airport as well.


According to the Edhi Foundation, Geeta will be handed over by Bilquis Edhi to External Affaris minister Sushma Swaraj. "My mother Bilquis Edhi has taken care of Geeta all these years and she will return after ensuring Geeta's care in India," Faisal Edhi, managing trustee of the foundation, told The Hindu from Karachi.


Following the press conference by the External Affairs Minister, the High Commissioner of Pakistan will felicitate members of the Edhi Foundation and Geeta on the High Commission premises.
